And the beat goes on...
My 12 miler became a half marathon yesterday. I felt good enough, had a good enough pace to go ahead and do 13.1 miles. That makes it the second time in less than a month that I've run a half marathon. That would astound me if I wasn't already looking forward and realizing for the next like 8 weeks it will be mileage over a half marathon. Sigh...
The run was good, I had some movies to keep me distracted and mentally I broke it down into 4 5K's which made it easier to tackle. It's weird running by myself for so long and no one else was at the gym so if you can't concentrate on something else it seems to take forever.
Time wise I was on target but seriously, at this point I am just trying to survive. I moved my next LSD to Saturday- my 14 miler. So I could get it out of the way, get a nap in before a wedding I have to attend Saturday night allowing me to get up Sunday and get on the road for my Christmas break.
Perhaps the best part of this is that the training will make for a fun holiday break since the food is not forbidden. Seriously, how did I manage not one cookie or cake or candy last Christmas??! Ack.
