Schedule called for a 21 miler. I just did NOT want to think about this run until I had to do it. Alarm went off at 5:30. Hit snooze and didn't start my run until 6:40. On the base I run in loops, tangents, circles, point to points, and to and from the gym. Sometimes I go past the same spot up to six times on a run. I HAVE to keep my brain thinking about long runs in short mileage sections or else I just blow up. Ran 3.75 from my house out to the Main gate and back to my water corner. Ran 2.25 From the corner up to the gym via the West housing loop. Picked up David, drank Gatorade and took a GU. We ran out to the poop pond, around it and made it to the warm drinking fountain in 3 miles. We ran along the flight line (1 mile), up to the gym, out to the West gate, and back to our house for a total of 3 miles. I came home and changed my entire soaking wet running outfit, drank Gatorade, and took another GU. Ran to the track, 1 mile around the track, 3 miles on the TM (house of refuge), and 1 mile back home. It all totaled out to be 20 miles. 8:20 AP. Legs felt absolutely terrific. I am so so so so proud of my workouts, miles, and motivation this week. My running doesn't always feel this great. :) |
