8 Strong Miles

Workout: 8 Mile Easy Run

Wow… What a nice run.  I kept putting off this 8 mile run all week.  Even this afternoon I was thinking that I might just run 4.  Even before my run my eyes seemed a little blurry and my right ankle seemed a little week.  I was not optimistic.

But I started running a long and before I knew it the first 4 miles were done.  I was tired but not overly so.  I was more just waiting for the run to be over not thinking how much further.  I even tuned out for a good 10-15 minutes.  

I think I’m really getting strong.  Plus Chicago is in just over 2 months which seems finally like it’s getting here.  Plus I have a couple of fun runs coming up which is helping my motivation.  

The real test will be how I feel in the morning when I run 15.  That’s the only thing that makes me nervous about tonight is have I spent a little of my mojo for the morning run?  We’ll find out soon enough.
