I’m on my seventh week of marathon training and was super pumped up today to run my first 16 miler!!! Here’s an excerpt from my running journal…
“16 mile run at Crockett Park in the misting gray. Longest distance I’ve ever run!!! Had a dip in energy/confidence around miles 6 and 12. Was so pumped to pass 13.1 and be able to keep going. But felt really annoyed by mile 14. Started being thankful for my legs, heart, and lungs around mile 14.5 and started praying. So grateful to finish. And saw 3 cardinals, 2 bluebirds, 2 blue jays, and 1 deer. Yay!”
