Fort 4 Fitness 2013

Ahh, at last all the training and miles we put in were finally put to the test:).  On Saturday, September 28th, 2013 Erica Gutwein and I did our second Mini Marathon.  We have been training for the past 3 months and it feels nice to know we don't HAVE to go out and run if we don't want to right now:).  Although we both agree we want to keep up on our running.
We could not have asked for a better running weather day.  Erica did an amazing job by increasing her speed to the finish line by a good 8 minutes compared to her first mini.  Way to go.   My goal this time around was to complete the mini in 2 hours or less. I practiced 3 weeks ago here at home and completed the 13.1 miles in 1 hour and 58 minutes so I was thinking it would be a breeze.  Much to my disappointment I completed it in 2 hours and 1 minute.  Man, that stinking ONE minute!!  And the hills that this course had....I am just very use to FLAT ground!!!

'til next time.....if there is a next time???  We will just have to see what next year holds:)

We actually don't run together mindy. We are different pace. But we do keep each other accountable during the months of training:).
