I’ve been stuck at 8 miles for the last few weeks, so I was determined to do 10 miles, no matter what. Somehow I was elected to lead the 11 minute mile group, but when we started, I didn’t even thing I could keep up at that pace. My 10 miles was looking iffy. The good news is I found several awesome people that run the same pace as me, so we were able to stick together and help each other out. I ran 8 miles with them, then ran to MiMi’s place to help with packing and to take some things off her hands ☺ These last two miles were kind of brutal. Maybe it was because I was by myself. Maybe it was the damn hill. Or maybe it was because I REALLY had to go to the bathroom. Either way, brutal. But good news is I made it over the 8 mile hump and I’m feeling less nervous about this whole marathon thing. I booked my hotel and flight this week, and now I got the running part on the right track too. This was one of the first runs I had in a long time where nothing hurt. (If anyone is interested, a pilates teach told me my left leg is weaker, so I overuse my right side, hence the pain. Who knew?)
More good news, I rewarded myself a chocolate croissant and an iced coffee.
I just ran 10 miles. I deserve some damn pastry.
