I finally had a great run---the kind of run that reminds me why I do this! This morning I set out with our running group to run 12, but I was open to 13. Somehow everything fell into place--- good weather, no aches or pains, energy, speed (for me).
I finished 13.1 in 2:29, just 10 minutes off my race pace from the half-marathon in the spring.
I walked for a minute every 2.5 miles, up to mile 10. At mile 10, I walked a little, hit a port-o-potty, and refilled my water, so I lost at least 6 minutes. Then I felt so great I kept going all the way to 13.1.
Now that I've had a good run and gained back a little confidence, maybe my posts on here won't be so whiny. :-)
