I have come to the realization I had not yet blogged about my 30k which I ran on March 24th.
My official time was 3:06:49.5
You can look up my times, photos etc., at this link right HERE
If you saw the times, you can tell that I ran fast, and then got progressively... erm, extremely slow... throughout the race.
I ran way too fast the first 10k. My pace was like 5:02 ish, which was :25 faster than I should've been going. I got extremely tired come around 22km ish.
My goal was to finish under 3 hours. But I still placed well! 9/20th in my age/gender category, and I was in the top 50% of all women. So that's good!
But the worst part, is that I hurt my knee a little during the run. This progressed to a hip injury, a few days after the run. Now I am ONCE AGAIN on running rest. I am going to get an extremely expensive pair of running shoes on Saturday (hopefully) that will help me.
Also, on March 31st, it was time for me to submit my progress photos on bodybuilding.com, as a part of a contest I was in. You can see the before and after pics here: http://blog.bodybuilding.com/sarahfloria/2013/03/31/the_end_is_just_the/
I am happiest about my back progress, because my trapezius and rhomboids are a lot more defined. Also you can kind of tell that I've lost a bit of body fat in my stomach, and my butt.
When I was taking my "before" pictures for the contest, I was somewhat bloated. So I'm real sexy there.
I feel like there is way more to say than there actually is. Oh well. I am just hoping that my hip will feel better soon!
I have my half marathon in Toronto in a month! Woo!
Here's a photo I posted on instagram on the day of the 30K around the bay in Hamilton!
