for Christmas week I joined a running challenge created by one of the members of the National Black Marathoners Association @NBMA for Christmas called sleigh runner on the Nike running app. I decided to participate in the 12 mile challenge for the week of December 23rd - 29th. Surprisingly, I actually finished it this morning. With all of the training I have done for half marathons this year my enthusiasm towards races and long runs has been depleted. However, with this challenge I divided my runs into lovely short runs. I was challenged during all my runs and actually felt like my speed and stamina improved. Next week I will participate in a 15 mile challenge. I'm quite sure if I make it to scheduled +BlackGirlsRun workouts I will be able to obliterate this challenge.
Below are the workouts I performed on Friday and Saturday, enjoy :).
