This is going to be the week I finish all my runs, even if one of them was done a day later. With all of life's curve balls, this is a great feat. Now, it has to happen for the next 13 week so I am ready for race day. But, the training and the curve balls are part of the journey -- something I have known since 2011.
I was sore as anything this morning. I haven't felt this sore since I finished NYC last November. So today's run was truly a "junk" run of six miles. I had to pound pavement and get it done; I barley did it under 1:05, but I did it. Granted, I enjoyed the run and it was a beautiful summer day in Connecticut, but it was hard as s***. Part of the reason it was hard was because I decided to run on route 106 or Hoyt Street, which isn't the most runner friendly road. With multiple curves and not the most runner conscious drivers, I was constantly making sure I wasn't going to get run over (obviously I survived). The second reason it was hard was because of Talmadge Hill Road, a kick a** hill in Darien. So hopefully the hills help with the speed work on Monday and I was feeling all of the gain with loads of pain. As promised early this week, I will make sure to run my long run tomorrow -- 10 miles! I plan to have some more kick a** hills in the second half of the run to test my mental power. We shall see how that goes!
