Typically I am up on the weekends no later than 7:00 a.m. Today I had the ability to potentially sleep into 8:00 a.m. but instead I set my alarm for 5:00 a.m. Why???? To go for a 15 mile run.
What?? Fifteen miles?
I haven't even gotten to the insane part. Are you ready for it?? I loved all two hours, thirty minutes and twenty seconds of it (2:30:20). (Why do we always take our times out to the seconds??)
Insanity redefined.
This is only the second time I have accomplished this distance. With hopes of completing my first marathon in December it won't be my last time.
The last mile was difficult for me. My feet and legs were really tight and started cramping but overall I felt pretty good. I love challenging myself and I love it even more when I meet my goal.
I hope you all are meeting your fitness goals. Keep challenging yourselves with reasonable goals. Remember to increase your mileage slowly so you don't injure yourself.
Most of all have fun and run happy!!
