why do i not feel like blogging about running? I think i've hit a wall. a training wall. I am still running but i'm not all fired up about it like i was a few weeks ago. i'm still having great runs, don't get me wrong..just not excited like i was. apparently, this is completely normal and we'll start feeling better about it soon.
one thing that might make me feel better? this pretty young thing. on sale for only $129!! i might talk kt into an early birthday present. $129?! can't beat it!!
so wednesday we did drills, sprints and hill repeats. it was hard. we actually ended up doing 8 hill repeats. basically, you just run up a hill as fast as you can 8 times. it's hard and makes you really tired. we logged 2.39 miles.
on thursday (11 hours later) i got up and met my crazy girls for a 5 mile run. it was an out 2.5 and back. i looked down and realized we were making good time again but then remembered we were only doing 5, not 5.2 like tuesday. so our time wasn't as great but it was better than it had been the rest of the summer.
the good news is i don't feel like these 5 milers are a struggle anymore. it's just getting up and going to do them that's the struggle. it's not really the running that i'm tired about.
tomorrow my plan calls for 9 miles but i might just do 9.5 or 10 since my loyal partner has 10 on her plan. i can't promise anything but i think going into it thinking i'm going to do 10 will make it happen.
maybe if i get that garmin tonight, i'll never want to stop?! oh, here's hoping!
