This past weekend I was home for Yom Kippur, so I did my 7 mile long run in Salisbury. (Thanks, Mom, for driving around the neighborhood to map out a course for me!) The first couple miles were, as usual, the worst part. My mom biked along behind me and was able to keep my mind occupied with stories about everyone back home, so I wasn't quite as focused on how far I was running.
The 7 miles was pleasing, but even more so, yesterday morning I went out for my 3-4 mile run and ended up getting a little turned around and running almost 5 miles. The fact that just a week and a half ago 5 miles was a miserable experience, and yesterday morning it wasn't so bad, got me all re-energized about bumping up to 10 miles in the next couple of weeks.
(Of course, the idea of 10 miles is still a little nerve-wracking.)
I'm hoping to get my fundraising moving along again soon -- I'm almost halfway to my goal, but still have over $1000 left to raise before the race! GO TEAM!
Even after your 7 miles it looked like you could continue on. Way to go!!! I'm so proud of you. It was fun "going along for the ride"! Mom
