Best 4 mile to date
Today was an interesting run... I forgot my walkman, so no music. I went outside that way if I wanted to quit, it was pointless to do so (have to get back home somehow!). I did NOT make my distance yesterday when I ran on the treadmill. I had forgotten to eat all day (no hunger, no eat... ) so I got dizzy at about 2 miles and quit.
Today I felt like I was sucking wind when I started out. I felt discouraged and like I wasn't doing all that well. I would not let myself quit though... I can't quit on my training runs when the race is only two months away. I just kept going, reminding myself that i needed to keep going.
I went out till I hit 2.5 (yes further than I needed)... then turned around and headed back. There are some pretty steep hills out there. On the route today the grade was 40% at one point.
When I hit 4 miles I switched to walking (figured that would be a nice cool down). I was at 46 minutes. That is my best time to date for a four mile... :) So even though I thought I was sucking wind, I was actually doing really well....
