Tuesday I attempted 10 miles again and failed. I did 9.16 miles. I learned a lot. It was painful. I could barely walk at the end. But I'm more than proud I went that far even if it took me 2:17.
I fueled well. I hydrated well. I pushed myself way further than I thought I could ever go.
I did 1:1 run:walk and I think it works well for me, but I need to push a little less on my run.
My calves were sore on the inside which is unusual but not too bad. I was sore longer than I thought I would be.
Overall I don't have too much to say. I just hope it's easier next time!
Before:
During (I need to work on picture taking and running!)
After:
In other news I'm in Corral I for Tower of Terror. It goes up to J. I have a 12k this weekend so I'm hoping to get a good time and get bumped up at the expo. Either way I'm super excited but I want more time for pictures!
Did you have a long run recently?

2.5 weeks til TOT! So excited!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your 9 miles! I did 8 this past weekend, and that will be my longest before the race.
Thanks! It was definitely a struggle, but like I said I'm glad I did it! I have a 12k this weekend, then I'm going to try to do the rest of my 11 miles that the Jeff Galloway method has scheduled for Saturday, but I don't know if that will happen. Either way, I think I should be good, hopefully =)
DeleteI'm really excited as well! It almost seems surreal.
Congratulations!! That's awesome! I have a feeling you will rock your 12k and get bumped up!
ReplyDeleteAwh, thank you for your support! I'm hoping I will, but I know it'll be fun either way =)
