We arrived at Granville Island shortly after 8 and began our stretch. It's good to see almost everybody out! Everyone is very pumped about our first run.
The full marathon group will be running a 6km run and the half marathon group will be running a 4km run. I figured I should start a bit slower and ran with the half marathon group.
At first, I thought it went pretty well, but after the beginning distance, my muscles started whining. They're telling me to stop, but I keep saying to myself "NO, you KEEP GOING!" At about the halfway mark, my cousin was trying to get to the washroom, but it was so early, it was closed. Poor girl had to race to the 2k mark to get to the washroom. I think I found my pace buddy! Monique from Australia originally was at about the same pace as me. We got to chat for a bit while running. Coach Mike says we should run at a "conversational pace". This is actually one of those times I wish I didn't have to talk.
The key for today's training is 10 minute run 1 minute walk...I think I was more of a 4:1 ratio haha. My time today for the 4k: 40 minutes
In addition, I also got some more sponsors in the last two days.
