It's just another day, in just another week of training. I got up and weight trained and then ran a very nice and easy 3 which gave me the runner's high for about 4 hours following it. I love that feeling and had never experienced it before a couple of months ago. It suppresses your appetite and is an unexplainable sense of energy that just makes you feel, how I imagine, high.
This weekend my mileage increases to 10 miles, then next 11 and then 12. It will then taper down for two weeks following before the big 13.1 in San Antonio. I am getting more and more excited as I do these longer and longer runs. By no means am I fast but to actually say I ran 9 miles on Sunday and to know inside I could've gone all 13 and not died, is an amazing feeling.
I am literally in awe of myself and not in the vain way, in the the sense that I really can't believe that I am, barring no injuries, going to complete one of those unthinkable, unimaginable goals that seems so unattainable before all of this. The reality that I am doing it, completing it, actually training for it, not just saying ,"one day maybe", but actually doing it is setting in and I'm excited!
