Truth: I’m behind on my marathon training.
Today I had 14 miles to despite having not logged more than 4 miles at a time over the past 2 weeks.
I questioned being able to run it physically do to blisters on my feet and shoulders, but mentally I felt strong and focused.
The weather was in the low 80s, BUT overcast and low humidity.
I ran the Mount Vernon trail towards DC (for the first time). Really great views and some nice shade. I ended up running to Reagan airport which is exactly 7 miles from my place.
It wasn’t a fast run. I did half mile running and quarter mile walking intervals.
How I felt good. To quote my old RPM instructor “I had my mind right.” I hope to only propel myself deeper into training. Hopefully the hottest weather is now behind us and that it will be easier to motivate myself to get out the door.
