Countdown to the Shamrock!

2 more days! Well really, 1 more full day of rest and then bring on the running! Still battling a nasty head cold, chest congestion and hacking cough BUT it will not stop me from running on Sunday. Both my running partners are in the same boat; Kirsten has the same thing I do and Amber injured her foot this week. Tough shit! It's only 3 miles, the goal is 40 minutes. That's a cake walk. No doubts we can do it. Philippians 4:13!

Aside from being sick I feel pretty amazing. I had my first drill weekend last week, got to meet my unit and my squad, and had a really awesome time. I love the people I work with! We did land navigation and orienteering in Lewis and Clark State Park and it was a blast.

Next week I will be back to my regular work out and running routine. Now that I'm running 3 miles my goal is to improve speed. I want to be at least 1-minute faster per mile at the next 5k, which is April 16th in Vancouver. I'll do 2 days a week of running my 3 mile distance, and then 1 day a week of sprint intervals for 30 minutes. As tired and sick as I am right now, I'm really looking forward to seeing progress! :D
