Notes:
- I was so excited to see Brittany Runs a Marathon was on Amazon Prime last week! I enjoyed the film, and it made me feel inspired to eat healthier and train better (just not this week?!?!). SPOILER!!! I am surprised they showed her running a 8:49 mm pace marathon though, when they showed her running “so slow” in the beginning that children walking were passing her. Come on. Not buying THAT.
- I had more free time this weekend to work out because crappy weather made it so we couldn’t work on the garage… but crappy weather. Sigh. I need to get back in gear. Lately, I just want to sleep as late as possible on the weekends before we start working. I should get up and do SOMETHING.
- Monthly recap! In November I ran 79.2 miles (17 runs). My coldest run was 21°F and my warmest was 50°F. I taught 9 strength classes, and 2 fitness boxing class. I did one race – the Wauconda Turkey Trot.
I watched Brittany Runs a Marathon last week too! I wasn’t sure what to think of it at first but ended up really enjoying it.
I thought it was really well done! And was glad to see her progress throughout the film (mostly in becoming a responsible adult).
I still want to see that movie, but I find that unrealistic pace a bit off-putting, although I can’t say I’m too surprised. God forbid they show someone running a 10+ mm pace after going from not being in shape or running at all to running their first marathon.
I was surprised by it, and they showed it for a split second. I had to rewind to look at the pace and was all WTF. I was expecting something much different. I don’t think they expected people to notice it.
