Thought I’d update my loyal readers on my progress toward my 5K. I began the training regiment for week 7 today with a slight alteration; I am actually now running 28 minutes, 3x/wk, which equates to two miles for me. I am running a slow 14 minute mile, but I am running so that is how I am looking at it. I’m not interested in racing, just finishing! I did not think I would even get to this point, but I am very impressed with myself that I can now say I have run two miles without stopping–I’ve never done that before. I am over the halfway running point for a 5K and I have almost four more weeks to work in the extra mile.
As for school, the new year has begun. I have a nice group of students again this year, they are working on coming together as a team and getting along. We have a way to go, but they are doing a good job to begin. My first graders are incredibly smart and my second graders are also doing very well academically; once we gel as a group, they will be a fun group to teach and watch learn!
