So 13miles ...
Its been a week or 2 since I last wrote. Now Christmas is over you should be reading more from me :)I had a great Christmas at my mums, It was a lovely couple of days break from work. I was convinced that I would go out for a run boxing day morning yet after a few drinks Christmas day, I realised it wouldn't be possible. I did get put on that Sunday a did a 10 mile run.
My 10 mile run was painful, I got up at 8 as I'd decided I needed to eat before I do long runs (mum had been nagging me) so i tried it, I had a small bowl of porridge. I will NEVER do it again, I had a stitch from mile 4 up until mile 8. By this time I could feel my muscle burning from working so hard, I had to continue though! Once at 9 miles my pace had dramatically dropped, it was hard to catch up with people walking. Finally I'd completed 10miles and was into double figure miles!
That week I told myself I wanted to run 13miles! Despite being told I shouldn't push to hard, I felt i had to do it and I did. Sunday morning I wasn't sure if i did want to go out, the thought of chilling in all day was a nice thought. But the thought of not training gave me a bad feeling as if I would be letting myself down and all that hard work I'd done weeks before would be chucked away.
I thought 10miles was a good feeling! I'm now half way there... every mile now that I train will be a mile less till the end and completing a Marathon :) I am so excited about the big day now :)
I should be back with another blog tomorrow after a 14mile run (I hope).
