I've been told how much of a strong runner I am from the time I hit the pavement a year ago, (blah, blah, lol) but I decided this running journey will be on my own time with God's guidance. Well, I was curious how 13.1 miles would feel so I scratched my scheduled miles for today and penciled in a half marathon distance. A lot of pre planning went into it (carb loading since Friday, sauna, steam room and hot whirlpool session along with hot yoga 24-48 hours prior). I was nervous and didn't sleep much (never due before my long runs) but my running twin and I got in it (she ran her first half marathon in September). I'm training for my first "cliff" race so this was a good practice. Never let anyone push you to do anything before you're fully ready to do so. Running is all mental so this is a must in this scenario. I'm at work today and will lead a run this evening; and expect to feel good due to my ice bath.
What have you atempted recently?
Great job! That's a huge accomplishment. I see you're sticking to your ice bath routine! :) THis year half, next year full. ;)
