Today was one of many long run days to com in this half marathon training I'm doing. Today me and Star had to get 4 miles done. We don't have to run them all but we did want to run most. So at 9:30am we started our run, after a good light breakfast and a pack of Gu. We started out with a awesome attitude of getting this done and doing it smart so we didn't kill ourselves hehe. We ran (and talked, surprisingly) the whole way to the 2 mile mark. I could feel I was faster it was really cool. Then we walked 1/2 mile, during which we had some water a few pretzels (for the salt) and cooled down a bit. Then we ran the last 1.5 miles. All in all we ran a full 3.5 miles and walked 1/2 of mile 4. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! We were both so pumped and had so much energy from doing it we walked the mile loop hehe (so technically we walked/ran 5 miles)
This was the farthest so far I have ever ran, and it felt so good. Best part I also beat my best time :D It felt so good to push myself and accomplish something. Next big run in 2 weeks at 5.5 miles :/ kinda intimidating, but I can do it :)
