Yesterday was a beautiful day. Yesterday I ran 8.5 miles. I am so proud of me. My first four miles were marvelous. I was running some of my fastest times since I started. the last three to four miles were a challenge and a lesson. But a challenge I accept and a lesson well learned. On the last few miles of yesterdays run, I encounter very steep and rather long hills. This is talking as an east coaster. Those on the West Coast, closer to the Rockies would rightfully scoff. But to me, it was difficult. AND I was dehydrated. I took no water with me and I didn't properly hydrate before I left. So, lesson learned.
I was very surprised to wake up this morning and not be sore at all. A real shocker.
I had originally planned on going for a long run today, but as is usual when you have a young one, other activities were paramount. I also did not get up early enough to get in another long run as I should have. I ran about 5 miles. I"m not 100% sure on the actual distance. I do know it was over 5.
I'm feeling really hopeful about this run coming up. I think I can do it. I would like add more trails to my training so that I can better my footwork.
Excitement is all around. I am so happy I found my way back to running. I am even more grateful that I have such a supportive husband who allows me to go out and run, even when his docket is full.
I am a very lucky woman.
