SEVEN!!! This morning I ran seven miles! My originally scheduled Friday long-run didn't go as well as planned. An uneasy stomach, most likely thanks to an unpredicted late night, most likely thanks to everyone's favorite cover band, told me to cut it way short. So I moved it to today, after a long weekend of eating, eating, some drinking, and more eating during BC beach weekend. My always-encouraging roommate ran the first part with me, which was very much appreciated! We each listened to our music, but it was still nice to be running along with someone. I was just telling her yesterday how I'm surprised at how I've adjusting to running solo. I appreciate running alone, but I enjoy when schedules match up and I can run along with a friend. A win-win situation!
It was definitely a harder run. Not the entire time, but the last mile was a push, so I used it as mental practice...to remind myself that one mile in the "big picture" was something I could easily handle. The weather was really good; it got a little warm, but it didn't feel too sticky (only when I had gu, and then my hands were sticky...). Overall, I feel SO GOOD about crossing over the half-way mark in my distance...! A great way to start the week!
