Did 6 miles outside with the hubby this morning. This was his first time running in over a month as he's been trying to heal up some injuries. The verdict? He's still hurting. I told him it's probably his shoes, so we'll have to see if a different pair helps. This run was good for me mentally, too, as we had some good running talk as we ran. I've been pushing myself so much lately that I've felt burned out (that is, up until this sickness got ahold of me and then I took several days off :) ), but we decided that it's okay if I back off just a bit and then hit it hard after the first of the year. That will still give me about 16 weeks before the marathon. So, as I type this, I'm telling myself that I can not push myself so hard on the treadmill this week (when I go to workout, it may be a different story - lol). But, I'm thinking just some easier runs in the next few weeks before I start up the intensity again. We'll see :) |
