I thought it appropriate to briefly post after my "long" run for the week, which is in quotation marks because this week it was only 5 miles and that is no where near long compared to what I will encounter on future Saturdays, but nonetheless, I did it! I have to admit laying in bed this morning I was not looking forward to running, but I knew if I could just get out there and get going I would not regret it, and I was RIGHT! With the help of my new shoes (which I'll have to admit I am becoming rather attached to already) I ran 5 miles with ease this morning. This was the kind of run that makes you think you can run forever, it was amazing and empowering, and well, a little addicting...I think I've found a hobby/workout that I cannot live without...distance running.
That is definitely not something that I ever pictured myself saying because I am the girl that used to DREAD the 1 mile run in elementary school that was required in gym class. I would literally try to cause injury to myself or fall "ill" on the days of those runs. In fact I am fairly certain I was the reason they stopped announcing the days in advance and now I'm running...for fun!
*Still geared up and excited to run this marathon! Physically I'm feeling great!*
