Today was a 15.5 miler. I was a little worried previous to the run for two reasons. My husband and I ate at a Thai restaurant last night. Ate some delicious spicy curry. Love spicy. But wasn't sure how my stomach would handle it on the long run this morning. Turns out, my stomach liked it. I think my stomach and I can be friends forever. The second reason I was worried is because I haven't done this long of a run for a while and I was worried how my foot would handle it. Sometimes the plantar fasciitis acts up the longer the run. But the foot felt fine. In fact, today was a great run. I started the run easy and thought I would pick-it up at the halfway point. I did have little bursts of energy after the halfway point but decided to relax and enjoy this run. These are the kind of runs that I need to give me confidence that I can go the distance for a marathon.
Hannah, hang in there! Patience. So much patience. I kept thinking this morning how TOUGH we have to be. We have to be tough to work our way out of an injury, run in the heat, run on treadmills where it seems like it takes forever to run one mile (at least, that's how I feel on a treadmill) and for all our toughness our end reward will be running 26.2 miles together in 9 weeks. What a reward it will be! Can't wait!
How was your run this morning?
