Wow! What a wierd week for running. I flaked on running until wednesday, but still managed to run the most miles this week of any other week thus far! I also crossed the half marathon milestone with my long run and this coming week I should be crossing the 200 training miles mark. Woohoo!
That being said, today's run left me completely knackered. We didn't get going until after 9 o'clock in the morning and boy was it hot! Somewhere around mile seven I was sure I was going to keel over and die from the heat and dehydration. But then we stopped to drink a ton of water, eat some jelly beans and I was good again - well, in all honesty I was sure I was going to lose my first toenail to marathon training - but I didn't. Unfortunately, Bree thought otherwise, we met a headwind at about mile 10, which I thought felt wonderful after the dry still heat we had felt earlier, but she was done. Once we made it up a big hill she wanted to walk for awhile, and granted, I didn't mind walking for awhile either, but I was getting anxious because I knew the end was near. Anyhow, we started running again soon enough and the rest is history. We planned on running 12 miles, but our internal mapping systems were a little off and we actually ran about 13.
Ok. Now any queasy stomachs should stop reading now because I have a someone disgusting albeit proud moment to share. On Wednesday's run, I ran 7.5 miles by myself. I felt really good, (probably from taking 3 full days off to rest???) and was especially bouncy. So at about mile 3 or 4 I just started running really hard until I couldn't go any longer at that pace, slowed it down until I caught my breath and started over again. I kept that up until about mile 6 or 7. Then I came home, ate, and yes, threw up! Is it wierd to be proud of that? Possibly, but it was totally worth it.
