I went on my first Saturday long run since the marathon! If you remember, I was rained out the first Saturday and then last Saturday I had to man a water station for TNT.
I started out, trying to decide if I wanted to do the 14 miles TNT was doing. The halves were doing 8, so I knew I'd at least complete 8, but hoping for 14. Mid-way, I began to think about stopping at 12. My legs agreed, but they wanted to stop earlier. By mile 9, my legs began to stop working and I called it quits by mile 11. My legs just plain gave out on me, which was a bummer because I was having a good time.
Total distance: 11 miles
Weather: Humid!
Average time: 13:46
Pain: None at the beginning, but my knees began to get sore and my calves tightened up. By mile 10, my legs were not feeling all that great.
Total mileage this week: 25! I'll hit my goal of 30 miles with tomorrow's 6 mile run.
Now I must shower and get ready for a lingerie shower I'm hosting for Yvonne.
Cheers!
