Today us gals met at the UF track to run our 1st timed mile. I was pumped when I arrived. I was ready! However, my body failed me and I ended up tying with Julie in last place.
After jogging about 1/2 of the track, my weak ankles started to burn. Then shortly after my shins began to burn. Then, of course my calves followed in the burn. Thankfully the burn didn't head any higher.
I thought I was going to give up after the 3rd lap (we had to do 4 laps). But, my head would not let me even though my body wanted me to.
I eventually passed the finish line. It took me 20 minutes, 12 seconds.
As were were standing around chatting after the laps, one of my weak ankles gave out. I almost fell. Maybe I should have stopped after the 3rd lap? Not because I didn't want to finish but because my body was telling me to. Now my ankle is very sore. I hope it gets better before Tuesday when we have another full workout.
I have been tempted with food all day today. The children had McDonald's for breakfast. I am currently at my mom's house and of course she had pasta salad, cheesecake and homeade bread with real butter. I mean, seriously mom!!! (laughing). I have not even licked a spoon clean.
Yeah me!!!
