It's been a while

Ok, so it has been a hot minute since I last posted. No excuses, I have just been a tad on the lazy side. I will get back into it.

I have been keeping up, ran over 10 miles for the first time since my Boston Experience. On a recent trip to visit my mom dukes for Mom Dukes day, I thought it would be a great idea to run from Springfield to Suffield. Now, I have driven this route a bagillion times. However, why not see it from a different perspective? It is exactly 11 miles, a distance I have done before and need to get used to.

Yeah, about that.

It was a tough one right off the bat. My legs never really got under me, but I guess I wasn't expecting much as it was my first long run back. The terrain was fine, my stamina was fine, just my legs gave me a problem. I stopped a few times, once to get water and gatorade, a few more times just to shake my legs out. I eventually got there, and sat for a good 30 minutes before getting up. My sport of a dad came down and picked me up, since there was zero way I was going to run back!

All in all it was a good run. My training plan has me running 13 this weekend.

Fingers crossed? Cheeeeeeeeck.
