All this week was a vacation for me which is why my blog is so woefully boring.  So, please skip ahead to the 25th if you actually want to READ anything.  I got to run in Cooperstown all week, and I must say, it was lovely.

It was wierd doing this long run in a strange place.  I had this very odd feeling that for the first 8.5 miles I was running downhill the whole time, so I was dreading the turnaround.  And then, when I turned around and ran back, I still felt like I mostly was running downhill.  It was very strange!  

 Sasha's advice has really been helpful for me.  I used to DREAD the long runs so much because all week I'd be running easy and then here would come this monumental run where I'd be shuffling along.  Now, running 8 miles every day, I'm so much better prepared for the long run.  I actually felt great on this 17 miler and had no soreness the next day.  I mean I was happy to stop at the end of it, but it really didn't feel like a huge effort.

I'm moving up to 9 miles per day now.  I was a little tiny bit worried today as I felt a teensy tiny twinge in my hip.  I've had hip issues in the past, but this seemed sooo minor.  Sometimes I focus in on the tiny pain because there isn't a big one!  Hopefully it is nothing.  My long run will be a "step back" this week, so hopefully boosting to the 9 daily miles won't be a huge deal.
