All in all things went well, my legs and feet just got incredibly tired. Our group kind of spread out during the last 5 miles. Everyone has a rough day now and then, so as the miles continue to climb some people fall back a bit. No worries- you have to do what is right for your body. Some people felt great during today's run, others of us were feeling a little pokey. But the best part of our 10:30 group is that the speedsters waited up for us to finish off the last mile together. They are the best :) I have to say I am really enjoying getting to know everyone. They all have such great words of wisdom and support to share.
I have yet to nap on a long run day, but today changed that. I attempted to nap after Cesse headed out but I woke up with cotton mouth and thinking about food. I took that as a sign my body needed more nourishment. Cesse, Josh and I did have some Ted Drewe's post-run, but apparently even that could only hold me over 2 hours. So today I'll spend the rest of the day relaxing (and eating)- I guess this is a perfect excuse to get started on those bridal magazines.
I would like to leave you with a quote someone from our running team shared: "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T. S. Eliot
Never have truer words been spoken. I guess today wasn't too far, but it definitely pushed the boundary.
