So for my run I was suppose to do 4 miles slow and 4 miles FAST! I was nervous and checked in with my COACH just to give her the heads up..."I don't think I can do this."
She was encouraging and gave me a slight alteration if I needed it. I decide to TRY, something new, something scary, something that was unknown.
So after a 4 mile warm up I ran 4 miles at an 8:00 pace! I DID IT!
I was so sweaty...salt was just falling off me! I wanted to stop, but pushed through!
I had a horrible LONG run last weekend. My second 20 ended up being 18.5 on the treadmill. I thought of EMZ a lot!
Moving on I am now gearing up for my LAST long run of 22 miles! It was snowing today so I am HOPING that sun will make an appearance and I can complete my miles!
P.S. Thanks for the shoe advice! I couldn't find my old shoe in my size anywhere (old model) but I did run in my Brooks and I am think they will work. They have a slightly bigger toe box and I think I need that on my long runs. I was in freak mode, but I am cool now! (I think)
