do, do, do, do.
Nothing like a bright blue sky to help make a long run enjoyable.
Hal scheduled a 12 mile run for me today. I was not feeling the love for 12 miles especially after last week's 11 until a friend sent a txt saying how lucky I was to go for a long run on a beautiful day like today. Ok, ok, up off my bum and get going, she's right.
I did my drills and off I started. I focused on the sun and enjoying the beauty of the bright blue sky. Today I wanted to focus on my lean. I was amazed throughout the run that the drills are helping me be more efficient and feel stronger. I had a great run and averaged about 10:25 min/mile. For 12 miles this is a great pace for me. The last 3 miles were challenging but I kept focus on my posture (no bucket butt) and pushed forward. My ankles and feet are tired and sore tonight, but my legs are feeling ok.
Looking forward to our next training session and learning more!
It was a beautiful day, much better then Friday for sure! Way to press on for 12 miles.
