I did it...I went out 12 miles today. After being sick all last week and having knee issues (and overall joint soreness) this week, I made it through a 12 miler! It was not an easy run, let me tell you! Running at an 8:40 pace is usually very enjoyable and relaxing. Today, running an 8:48 pace was rough. For the first 8 miles, I felt fine. I didn't intend to go faster than an 8:40 pace today anyway. The last 4 miles left me feeling completely drained. When I reached the base of 85th Avenue (at the base of the hill), I knew I was close to finishing. Getting up that hill felt like I was going in slow motion (well, I probably was!)
With that said, I finished! Now, hopefully for the next two weeks, I can follow my training plan, and get ready for the BIG DAY!!
Thought for the day: Sometimes life gets in the way of what you plan on doing. Most of the time, life isn't wrong.
