I did 12 miles on Saturday. After that I felt good training with Mrs. Bess. I was tiered. This is the farthest I ever ran! I started at George English Park and then ran north on A1A. After a mile we turned around and then we went south to Las Olas for ½ a mile. Then we ran back to the beach. Next we ran to 17th street bridge and back to George English Park. We started our run at 5:15 AM.
This week I ate an Orange Burst GU, a piece of granola bar and a Vanilla Bean GU. After my run I did my stretches and I went home and had breakfast. Then I took a long nap.
It was dark, windy and very cold during the run. I had shorts on and my legs were cold. Mrs. Bess tied a trash bag around my waist like a skirt. This helped my legs. On my hands were gloves.
I would like to thank my Dad for driving me to George English Park at 5:15 AM. You are so kind to bring me to the park so early. You are my coolest Daddy in the whole world.
We have three weeks left until the race. I am ready to do 13.1 miles!

I am very proud of how you braved the cold and the wind and got thru the 12 miles. It amazes me how much effort you put into your training each week as the distances get longer the closer it gets to your race. You are very inspiring to your entire family.

Wow! Amanda, I am so excited about your success with running. It is such a healthy form of exercise. I hope you will keep up the good work. Enjoy the run on Saturday. I am looking forward to reading your blog next week.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Amanda. You were braver than many. I wanted to start at 5:15, but just couldn't get out of my warm bed!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing GREAT! Keep up the good work.
Wooo hoooo! Way to go Amanda! Keep up the good work! You are doing great! Have fun! :o)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great job you are doing! Keep it up. Make sure you are getting your rest and eating well, which I'm sure Mrs. Bess is making sure you are doing. Congratulations.

ReplyDeleteHave a good training session this weekend. It is supposed to get warmer and I am glad for your sake.
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteWay to go!!! You are almost there. Mrs. Bess will bring you to the finish line. You are very brave to run in the cold. If it is raining Mrs. Bess will bring you through that too. Just have fun and run!
I am sorry I haven't posted a comment in a while. I forgot how to get in and had to get help. I am so excited to see your progress. You are going to be ready for the big run. I see Ms Bess is making it pretty fun to train with her.... garbage bag skirts and hidden water bottles!
ReplyDeleteAmanda - good luck on the race tomorrow. I know you will do a great job. Hope to see you there. Look for me!
