13.1
After skimping on a TON of long runs the past two months, I slapped myself in the face and told myself that I ABSOLUTELY could not do that anymore from here on out. I only have practically 2 months left until the marathon so it's really necessary that I get my lazy butt in gear. With that, I did a half-marathon yesterday afternoon in 2 hours, 19 minutes. The first 11 miles, I felt actually pretty good; the last 2ish miles, I felt like my legs were about to break off. Why is it that the last mile or so is always SO damn hard? All I could think to myself was, "How in the world am I going to do 26.2 miles if I feel like dying after 13?"
Well, I won't really think about that now. As soon as I got done with the run, Iate myself silly stretched my legs and used a foam roller which felt SO GOOD. I'm glad I remembered to stretch, because today, my legs felt so much better than I remember from the last time I ran a similar distance. Last time I ran a half, I couldn't run for months. So, this encourages me that maybe I'm on the right track.
After stretching, I ate some leftover "Bang Bang Shrimp" (homemade replica of the dish from Bonefish Grille) with Nishiki rice, and ate a little too much chocolate cake that I made from a few days before. I'll have to post a lot of recipes with pics, soon. I've just been lazy.
Other than running, just a whole lot of teaching, rehearsing and trying to stay on top of the cooking, laundry and cleaning, and spending quality time with the hubs:)
