As my dad said during yesterday's run, day two is the hardest. He was right (as he is some of the time). I did the same loop around Belle Isle, this time going the opposite direction -- so I guess not the ~same~. It was hard, but rewarding. I didn't go as fast as day one, but I'm not too sure it is about speed quite yet. To me, miles matter because they prove mental toughness. After five 26.2 journeys I think mental toughness is 50% of the battle. Having my dad on these first two runs has made the start even better. It will be bittersweet when we can't do it anymore -- a week and day until we cross that bridge.
Thankfully no cuts from my sports bra today, just a lot of sweat from kicking butt!! I don't know how long these post will go each day or even if they will be each day - guess that is why you have to keep coming back.
