jianantonicI'm still kind of high on my performance in the 10K this weekend. I just felt so GOOD. So I'm already poking around looking for more races to do, and longer ones to strive for. The next distance I'll try will be either a 15K (9.3 miles) or a 10-miler, just depending on what's on the race calendar this winter. I should be ready to step it up to that distance by the end of the year, and then get a half marathon in by my 30th birthday? Maybe. Ambitious, but totally doable. (April 27th, 2013 is the fateful day.) In between now and then, I do have several shorter races. An 8K in two weeks, a 5K at the end of September, and another 5K on Thanksgiving...not sure what else I'll put into the mix, but there will be others.
Driving back from Seattle, I was in the car alone, so I just practiced my WW meeting the whole way. I led my first meeting yesterday morning. The experience was mixed, I'd say. I think I did well, but not as well as I would've liked. I was comfortable and composed, but I had a hard time getting members to talk much. I think it was a difficult week because so many of them had gained weight, and when members have bad weeks, they tend to sit quietly and sulk. Also they didn't know me, so they may have been a little shy. But the PowerStart (intro session for new members at the end) went really well. My coach said I did a really nice job overall, but I know I can do better. I'm glad to have that first one out of the way, though. It only gets easier from here, right? :)
Michele is on vacation for a week, so I'm working 4 days this week and 5 days next week. It's cool. I like money.
Max gets here Thursday. I'm attending the bachelor party he's throwing, followed by Alex and Elizabeth's wedding this weekend. Should be a good time.
