I am surprised to say this, but ... nine miles wasn't so bad.
In fact, I wanted to keep going. And I'm bummed that this Saturday's run is only five miles. (It's the POKER run. You get a playing card at each mile marker. Then you get to make a hand at the end and play. You should come out. $5 donation. Meet at Veteran's Park.)
This running thing really is addicting.
I did four miles last night and the night before. I downloaded some more songs from iTunes, so my playlist is pretty good.
I'm feeling confident about my ability to finish a half marathon. And I can already tell that I'm going to keep training after April. I might give a full marathon a try. (I can't believe I just said that.)

Let me tell you that I really admire you, because I have always wanted to be a runner and I have never been able to run, it is extremely tough to do it, so if you have been able to reach that goal, congratulations, you must know I admire you :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Running is so contagious!
ReplyDeleteRedden, I love it that you're addicted to running! That's awesome you wanted to keep going after 9 miles...that's a long run. Isn't it a great feeling when you are confident about reaching your goal? I got that feeling today after completing my 16 mile training run in 30 degree weather, with strong winds and snow. It was tough, but I felt awesome when it was over. We are going to rock the OKC 1/2 and full marathons!
