All day long I looked forward to a good run after subbing at school. It was after 5:30 (a bit chilly) by the time I got started, but once I started I didn't want to stop. See, if about two weeks there is another run; this one is a 10K (double the first run). I am seeing if I can go the distance - 6.2 miles.
Today I ran farther than I think I have ever run at one time. I think it was just under 4 miles - finishing in 31.28. I stopped only once at the top of a very steep hill. It was quite an accomplishment for me. I usually get mentally psyched out about the distance because of my asthma. I worry that I'll get farther away from home and run out of air or start wheezing. Today, was great! I did it, and I plan to go farther tomorrow. Maybe I can make it up to 5 miles.
Mark has no problem running long distances. Last year he ran the 5K, 10K, and the 10 miler. He says the hardest miles are the first three - that's when I usually quit. He was right. After the third mile my body felt really good! Ready to do more.
