Busy birthday weekend!

Happy birthday to me! Friday night was birthday-dance night at Hot Salsa Friday. Since Flavor Culture was performing, my birthday dance wasn't until midnight and I didn't leave until about 12:30. I went to sleep about an hour later and set two alarms to make sure I woke up before 7 AM the next morning.

I felt surprisingly good during yesterday's 5-mile run even after a full night of salsa dancing. I ran the distance in 53 minutes, so a 10.6-minute mile. Our group ran a 5/1 pattern – 5 minutes jog, 1 minute walk. I'm still getting used to my body's limits and learning how to pace myself, but I feel confident that I'll be able to move up to the continuous-jog group soon.

I met a couple of friends, Lisa and Joy, during yesterday's run. Lisa had also gone salsa dancing the night before. Joy admitted that she was in training to trade down a few wedding-dress sizes. You go, sister!
Thumbs Up

Next week's run: 6 miles.
