Training schedule says I will do: 9 miles
I actually did: 9.35 miles*
*10.85 miles using Aubree's Bonus Mileage System, getting an extra 1 mile for traveling uphill for a total of 2 miles, and 1/2 mile for sweating through 2 layers.
Days to go until the marathon: 112
Miles to go until 1000: 783.20
So my goal for today's run was that it wouldn't suck like last week's long run. And it didn't, although I will say that towards the end I was ready for it to be over. I just didn't love it the way I used to love my long runs, which might have had something to do with the fact that my hip started hurting again somewhere around mile 5 or 6 and was pretty sore by the end. And it was kind of too hot. Which I feel terrible for saying, because 1) it was only in the 60s or 70s but super sunny and 2) last week on my long run, I was so cold that my hands were frozen and could barely move when I got home. And I was miserable. So you'd think I'd love the warmer weather today. But it was a little too warm. I even got sunburned, including a rather unfortunate tan line where my cell phone holder arm band thing was. I need to find a better way to carry my cell phone!!
Anyway, I can't say that I'm completely back in love with running after my bad week last week, but I think I'm getting there. . . (sorry, but I can't resist) one step at a time.
