Total Distance

8.00

Ran 8 miles today. It was a pretty good run. Got up early enough so the heat wasn't as bad. My first three miles were tough. I think it is because it is a gradual up hill the whole way. I have to give myself a shout out because there is a steep hill right passed the first mile and I haven't been able to run up the whole thing without stopping, but today I ran the whole thing and I was so excited that I almost started to cry I was so happy!!! My first 3 mile my avg. pace pre mile was 11:00 min(wow that is slow!!!). But the remaining 5 miles I avg. 10:30 per mile.

All in all I felt good. I'm about to go to bed and I really have no soreness and still feel really good. I am really excited for my race next Sat. I know it will be one of my slower races, but I'm ok with that. I am just glad to be back running and not having any pain. :)

I rock? No, you rock! And how sweet that you almost cried. I'm proud of you, too.

Great job. That's a nice long run, especially starting out with hills.

That is AWESOME! Hills make you stronger! So excited that you ran the whole way! YAY!!! And that pace is NOT slow! Some of my uphill paces are close to 13mm. :)

I must have missed something. What/where is your race next Sat.? GOOD LUCK! Have FUN!!!!
