10 miles! Whoohooo!
I did my 10 mile long run at the park today. The farthest I’ve ever run in my whole entire life! 10 miles! 10 MILES!!!!!!!
It was probably my hardest run ever too. The last 4 miles were pretty hard. My left hip was hurting and by the time I got to mile 9, it was hard to lift my legs up. I think the hills at the park are alot harder than they look.
Although I missed looking at my final time (again!), for almost all of it I kept a 10:00 pace which included the walking break for drinking, and stopping at the truck to dump off my t-shirt, headband and gloves. If next week is 40 or higher I need a cooler outfit. Sweatshirt is good, but no t-shirt underneith. Maybe shorts with the silk sweats over top. Throw away gloves? I think I started too fast. Need to slow down and pace myself. If I had needed to do 3 more miles today, I would not have made it running, but I know I could have walked the last three. Slooooooowwwwwww doooooowwwwwwwwnnnnnn.
Did my cold water bath for 20 minutes and then a hot shower. I plan to do ALOT of stretching this week and icing the sore spots.
Lots of gunfire in the neighborhood today. It sounds like a war zone out there.
