MILES that is. I almost can't believe this myself. Yesterday was my long run day and I was lookin at 8 miles. The first one is always a struggle for me but I kept going. The next couple, not so bad and then it started getting pretty tough around mile 5. But I was over half way there and that kept me going along with great music and the SUN.
My last 2 1/2 were up/down Peachtree Street. I think I was a pitiful site. Running in "slo mo" for sure and at times, I think I was more likely doing a shuffle vs. running. The drivers must have been wondering, - what the what?! (as my favorite Mr. Brown would say).
After the groaning, grunting (all to myself I hope) and sweating, I RAN 8 MILES! What an accomplishment. I am pretty psyched.
I'm still working on the mantra, confidence in myself thing. I'm going to have to reach down deeper next Sunday when I'm looking at 10 miles. I am self motivated but I have to say, the atta boys and support from my run coach, Mike, is awesome! Can we ever get enough of it?!
