7:30 practice during day light's savings ending - feels like 6:30!!!!!!
Today was our 13 mile run but as you can see from above I didn't make it through the full run. Things started out okay - my legs are definitely sore from yesterday's run. I couldn't do my intervals for quite as long for some reason (probably just tired). Coach Gary ran with me for part of today and he's always super supportive so that was helpful.
The biggest part of our run today was a HUGE hill. Like 4 miles or more of straight up hill. I walked it. Straight power walked the sh*t out of it! By the time we were done with that I had planned to run more but I had very beautiful blisters that had formed. They were nice enough to double in size the next few miles resulting in my getting a ride back for the last 2 miles. Just couldn't do it. They're still killing me.
Oh I did give Liz and Tim a little shout out on my way back. I was already into my 8th mile by this point so it wasn't too early. Hopefully they (and their neighbors) have forgiven me.

We loved the shout out! We were deep into painting mode and it confused Johnny a bit, but we loved the love :)
I thought you said you were thinking - not painting. Good to know what you meant.
8.5 miles is great!! is that the furthest you've gone yet?!?! congrats!
hills are super hard. i hate them. esp at the end of the stupid race. not fun!
let me suggest that you do leg strengtheners - ie lunges, calf raises, squats... b/c i've found that as my legs have gotten stronger, my running has gotten easier. not easy mind you, but it def helps to have stronger legs.
oh, and i got up at 415am for my run on sun - which was 215 my time b/c of the 1 hr time change + the 1hr spring forward - holy crap i was exhausted last night!!!
