RUN: 121 mins and 13.2 miles at 9:10m/m
Forgot to mention in yesterday's post that I met with CP last night to review the 2012 season. He's persuasive--sounds like I'm doing TTT. And the Saturday Brentwood master's. And Branson. OK so he didn't convince me to do all that, I came to some of that on my own. I walked away excited and ready to rock! Song in the car when I started to go home: Feels Like Today.
This morning's run was going to be a 9-10 miler. The first loop I had friends to run with, rain is much better shared, but the second loop was alone. And without rain. My first plan was to run the 9 and see how I felt. Then 10 and see how I felt. There's so many options to turn off and shorten the loop and I just expected I would "feel done" and some point. But I didn't. I just kept going. And going. Hit 11 miles. Kept going. Hit 12. Realized I'd had no food or drink this entire time. Hit 13 and OOF I was done. But I couldn't just stop at 13, too close to HM distance. And I couldn't just stop at 13.1, that's a special race distance. So I decided on 13.2 . Obsess much?
It all felt good at the time, but later in the day I was wiped out. Sore, tired, just wanted to sleep. My appetite was pretty sucky until about 5pm too so I didn't eat much during the day. But I made up for it at night :)
