My 25k training has really pushed me to the limit. Ran just under 9 miles on Saturday and the training called for a 6 miler this morning. Combine that with ChaLean Extreme Workout DVD - and my legs were tired puppies today. But, as always, the hardest part is getting out of bed, then it's just putting one foot in front of the other until you finish. I ran by the local McDonald's around 5:55am - just when they were turning on their outside lights. I thought to myself, "Sure feels good to be running by here instead of pulling through the drive-thru." I was proud of myself and surprised myself with those two long runs within three days. I feel tired, but it's good tired.
I have an easy 3 miler tomorrow morning - looking forward to pushing myself a little bit and working on the speed. We'll see... But I know I'll be out there, and that's half the battle!
Yeah - ran 3 miles at 8:38 per mile - best pace yet since I started retraining. Slowly moving it down - three years ago I could get it down to about 7:35, so we'll see where it goes.
