Today, I set out to do my long run. As part of my training plan, i do one pretty long run a week, as long as several other shorter run days a week
It was a little different because I have never ever ran as far as I was suppose to run today ever. I was setting out to run 21 miles. I started out with some great people! I sure am part of a wonderful running group!
We were doing three seven mile loops.I made it through without much of a struggle. I feel amazing! It kind of baffles my mind that I ran 21 miles today. That's a considerable drive if you were to make it. I did it on foot. It took me 3 hours and 27 minutes.
Just think... only 5.2 miles and I will have that marathon over with!It's a proud moment for me.
In a couple weeks, I will do 22 miles. That's going to be another milestone. Then, three weeks after that I will reach another milestone....running my very first marathon!
I promise it won't be my last one. It probably won't be the only one I do this year.
Something about these long runs...they are lovely!
Give me a couple years. I WILL qualify for Boston. I promise.
