FIRST – THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR POSITIVE WORDS AND COMMENTS. It means so much. thank you thank you.
I got some 10K gear today. I bought a dri fit tank, compression shorts, a sweatband, and new headphones (thanks 365to30 for the recs). *pictures coming soon – I plan on doing a practice run in all my new gear this week*
Today was my 6 mile run as per half marathon training. I planned on running in the evening again today since the timing worked out well last time. I had a work event this morning and then laid out my the pool ALLLL afternoon. I didn’t eat enough all day, was tired, and sun stroked (haha). I ended up not LEAVING for my run until 7:45pm. I didn’t love the course I chose and was tired. The middle of my run I wanted to give up, but a. I knew it’s only mildly physical, it’s mostly mental. b. I was too far from home and if I walked I would be LAAAATE getting home. I took a few walk breaks, but charged through. The last 2 miles of the run I actually felt really good. I ended up doing the 6 miles in 1:19:02. I’ll take it. My goal for my 10K realistically is 75 minutes (1:15:00), and in a fantasy world its 69 minutes (1:09:00). I think given the obstacles I had to overcome today it was a solid run and it feels great to have done 6 miles – it was my longest run to date.
