Last week was crazy. I know I over-use some words, but this time it's just applicable. :)
My 9 miler was supposed to happen Saturday, but we spent almost every hour of daylight in the car, so I couldn't make it happen. I was paranoid that the entire weekend was going to get away from me without accomplishing my run, so I even flirted with the idea of making it happen on the treadmill, but I couldn't bring myself to. I want to continue loving running, and treadmills are a definite deal-breaker.
It was cold Sunday but it warmed up just perfectly for my run after work. It was bright and sunny, a bit breezy and there was no traffic on my route.
It was a perfect run. The first 5 miles flew by and I felt great. It was hands down the best run I've had all month. I kept a 10.03 minute pace, and at the end all 9 miles were within 6 seconds of each other. Pacing Queen at your service.

I saved a tire. Hopefully mine. No flat tires, please and thank you.
9 miler is in the books!!
Anyone have a successful long run this week end??
None of your pictures have worked for some reason.. ? :(
ReplyDeleteThat's sooo good! 9 miles is fantastic. My stomach is very very sensitive and I'm always scared to eat anything during a run. I am definitely going to look into shot blocks!
great job on that run!! and props to the pacing queen! :)
ReplyDeleteNice! I am dying to run again!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting that nine miler in! And even bigger congrats on doing so well and loving it so much. Smart move on not treadmilling it. I think I did 10 on one once and felt like I was a mouse on a wheel. I love Shot Blocks. Have you tried the honey stinger fruit bites? They're yummy too and a little softer to chew too. I also want to try the honey stinger waffles.
ReplyDeleteMeghan- thanks for stopping by!! I have never tried the honey stinger fruit bites....now I want to try them right away!! :)
