So today I had a hard time going out to run because I ate a little too close to my running time. I finally went out but it was already dark and I don't like to run at night time alone. I took a flash light, but luckily the full moon helped me see where I was going the whole time.
Today I improved my time a little, I ran 2.24 miles in 38 minutes. It is still a very low pace, but I am hoping to be running a little faster sooner. I have never been a fast runner though, I have short legs and I rather run long distance versus time. I am aiming to run 3 miles every other day starting Saturday. Hoping to be at 5 miles by the day of the run October 23rd.
Tip: I used to get light headed after running over 3 miles, did some research and learned that my sugar was getting low. I tried eating 1/2 a wheat toast with nutella or peanut butter and jelly right before running and it worked! What this does, it helps your body use that sugar while you run so your blood sugar doesn't go down! And ofcourse stay hydrated before heading out to run. I stop drinking water 1 hour prior my running time.
