Ankle Weights

I ran 5 miles with ankle weights on yesterday.

At the time I thought it was an awesome idea... push my legs harder and use the muscles more, right?

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

It hurt. It hurt so bad, ladies.

however, it hurt bad enough that I'm determined to do it AGAIN to prove to myself that it doesn't have to hurt that bad each time. cause i'm cool like that.

ps, i just registered for a half marathon on february 26th. woot. it was only $35!!!

That sounds crazy! I felt like I had leg weights on today; does that count?

Ross was just telling me that I should train for the marathon with ankle weights on the whole time, so that when race day came it would be 'easy'. Rrrigght.

Go you though! I am impressed.
