I'll preface this post by saying, "I need some new shoes!!"
Okay, got that out of the way!
This morning was a nice long run (for me anyway). I was so proud of myself for waking up, when I really wanted to sleep in! I was also proud of the fact that I only checked the watch three times during my run (and only checked the time twice)- I checked my distance at the first mile, then somewhere in between (can't remember which mile, ha!) and then at the last turn around the lake (close to ten miles). After that, I just ran until I was at 12 miles, then I still had a little way to go to get home, so I trotted home!
I really honestly thought I was running slow. My legs (once again) felt heavy, and I told myself to not push this run...I was out to get the miles in, not to go at race pace! I ran a very respectable 8:15/mile pace...YEAH, that blew me right out of the water! I thought for sure that was about 8:45-9min pace.
Good run, good times! Now it's time to plan my day! Maybe laundry, maybe cleaning the bathrooms...vacuuming...pulling weeds....maybe all of this! I'm going to make sure I spend time relaxing and enjoying this quite perfect weather!
OH, hold the PHONES...I got my new fitflops in yesterday! I have a pair of fitflops from a couple years ago, and I LOVE THEM! I love them so much, they're absolutely worn down. I'm glad my new ones came in yesterday. They felt really good on my feet after my run this morning! GO fitflops!
Total for today: 12+ miles. Total for this week: 36+ miles
