Long run "with" running group today. Okay, it wasn't all that long, but it's the longest I've run for at least 4 months. Knee feels okay. Hammy feels okay. But nothing about this run was easy.
It was windy. I didn't sleep well last night. Six miles seemed to be pushin it based on my lack of running lately. But that is what was on my schedule and that's what I set out to do.
Honestly, I was ready to quit at mile 5. I stopped, walked a bit, drank some accelerade and pondered walking the rest of the way in. But then I decided I wanted it to be over more than I didn't want to run, so I convinced myself to start running again.
When it was all said an done, six miles at 11:30 min/mi average pace, although in reality, my pace was all over the map.
Have a good weekend everyone!
Good job getting your run done!
ReplyDeletenice job getting out there!
ReplyDeleteNo worries my dear, at least you DID it and you should be proud you got out there. Have a restful Saturday afternoon. :)
ReplyDeleteYou di'in't want to, but THAT is the way to get it done :-) Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteYou got out there and DID it! Good work.
ReplyDeleteNice work with the long run! And great time! Wahoo!
ReplyDeleteoh but you did it!!!!
ReplyDeleteWanting it to be over more than I want to walk is how I finish almost every single run!! Yay you for getting it done!
ReplyDeleteNow it's done! I've pushed the last mile the way you did - even though I want to walk, the desire to just be finished is stronger :)
ReplyDeletekudos to you for getting it done though! Great job, and i'm glad the knee and hammy are cooperating! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are getting so fast!! I am jealous..cant seem to break the 12 min/mile mark myself
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to read that there were no niggles. Way to go, girl. Just keep running.
ReplyDeleteI found your pacing question (and answers from readers) very interesting. There is a lot of similarity to cycling but I stayed out of it since I don't really know anything about running.
It's always quicker to run than walk, that's for sure. LOL Good job! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat job lady!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep going!!! As long as your feeling OK and your body isn't yelling at you!!! Thats what i am here for!!!
HAPPY SUNDAY!!!
Nice job pushing through it.
ReplyDeleteGlad the hammy is feeling better!
Way to stick it out and get that 6 miler done! Awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteWay to get that baby done, Lisa!! Great job ;D ;D
ReplyDeleteWay to keep going when it was tough. When I want to walk, I often tell myself that it'll be over faster if I just keep running. :)
ReplyDeletegreat job for finishing it up! sometimes that last mile is the hardest, and pushing through when you want to quit is always a great accomplishment :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting it done! Glad the various body parts are feeling better!
