40:48 min for the 4 mile


This is where I brag about my time, although I'm really not fast. The first mile I ran in little over 10 minutes. that scared me a little because I didn't want to run out of gas at mile 3. But since the first mile didn't feel like i pushed too hard i ran my second at about the same anyway. at mile 2 my stopwatch read 20something. In mile 3 I definitely slowed down. the time read 32 something. I planned to beat 40 minutes or at least 43 especially after my mother told me her 4 mile time was 45 min (which is my usual time). so I ran the last mile 8 something. Luckily there were a lot of rolling hills. ones that slopped down more that up On the up I did the ticky-ticky-Velma and shaggy- from-scooby-doo- run. It really works. Still I was surprised with my time.

Oh yeah I have very sore shins. I started feeling it friday when I ran 2 miles in my size 9 shoes. I brought a half size larger for the marathon since my feet had expanded beyond my 8 1/2's, but now I think they are too big.
