turnonmyheelsI kicked that 9.5 miles in the ass so hard I ran *10* miles
\o/\o/\o/
Time: 2:15:26
Which is ... slow very, very, very, slow. 13.5 minutes per mile. BUT! I only walked one short, STEEP, hill. I felt good the whole way even the first mile which I always hate. I kept my heart rate right around 170 which is exactly where I wanted it. I had one constant aggravation which was my heart rate monitor kept losing contact with my watch. I don't think I got enough water on it when I put it on, and I had to keep adjusting that. It was my first run with my CamelBak running belt. I had 24 ounces of glorious liquid with one scoop of P90X recovery drink. I'm about to finish a second serving of the exact same thing and some home made chicken noodle soup.
I am tired. Sore. I'd kill someone for a massage [although I don't actually want anyone I know to be in my space right now.] So should clarify, I'd kill for a massage from a pro that wouldn't talk to me at all. Good god almighty my feet hurt but it was AMAZING. You guys, I ran 10 miles! It was only a little over 4 years ago that I was a moderate to heavy smoker. The human body is so amazing, it can do *anything* you just have to train it first.
I know now for an absolute fact that I'm going to get through this half.

Date: 2011-11-07 01:53 am (UTC)If you can run 10, you could run a half today. Or, ok, you really need to rest today. But soon! :D
PS - my trainer had me use the treadmill to try to train my body to feel like a slightly faster pace was "the norm", and I feel like it's been working. So you might try running at your usual pace on the treadmill for 10 minutes, then upping it a little for 10, just to see if you can't convince your body to go faster. Not that it needs to, because that HR is good, and you're rocking this BIG TIME.
Also! I had no idea smoking was such a recent thing for you. Go YOU!
