Training schedule says I will do: 10 miles
I actually did: 10.15 miles*
*11.65 miles using Aubree's Bonus Mileage System, getting 1 extra mile for traveling uphill for 2 miles, and 1/2 extra mile for sweating through 2 layers of clothes
Days to go until the marathon: 154
Miles to go until 1000: 872.77
Today is Easter. And an absolutely gorgeous day for a run. But I did not see a single other runner until I was 9.2 miles into my 10 mile run, and I didn't start my run until 8 so it's not like it was really early. I did, however, see lots and lots of cars going to churches on my run. Because I didn't see another runner for so long, I started to wonder if I were the only person in town not going to church today. Which made me wonder what the church-goers think when they see me running, instead of going to church. Hopefully they think "good for her", just as I think when I see them doing what they want to be doing on a Sunday morning.
Today's run felt hard. I don't know if it was because I ran yesterday or because 10 miles is kind of far. Every time I have a hard run, I think "this is the week I'm going to start doing strength training too." So let's see if it is . . .
Happy Easter! I'm pretty sure a 10 mile run entitles me to at least one Cadbury egg, right?
