Training Run #7

This morning started with a bit of dramatic flare- the fire alarm in my apartment went off at 6:15. Anyone who knows me knows how much I already hate getting up at 7:15 for our training runs, so this was a particularly rude awakening. But we shook it off, and then my parents came along this morning for our 7th training run. They took off a bit before we did and walked our running route and cheered us on. They took a few photos which have to be some of the worst photos I have ever taken. I have to say that I don't run pretty. I guess that isn't the point, but seriously, all of these photos were terrible! I'm posting the one that is the least bad. You can see my fancy hydration belt in the photo below.
















This morning we ran 5 miles at a 5 mins of running, 1 of walking pace. It was a nice change after last week's 8 mile run. Next week we go (gulp) 10 miles. I know I can do it, but it still sounds daunting.
