I've been slacking, I know. I overworked myself last week. It was my own doing. I have been working some urgent care shifts in addition to regular work and I signed up for a few too many last week. Oops. So needless to say I was exhausted and did not get a chance to post.
Obviously - Yeah Giants. Sweep!
The second - Yeah Me is because I ran my first 10 miler today! Yup that's right - 10 whole miles. That is the distance from my parents house in Chico to Hamilton City! I ran alone too, because Sarah was working today. My legs felt good for most of the run. Around mile 5 or so my right knee started to bother me some, but then went away, then around mile 7 my left knee started to act up. I felt good though and I finished strong. My calves felt tight for a good portion of the run, but I just tell my body that it's me getting stronger, which is probably true.
I love the feeling that each week, I've run father than I've ever ran before. So today after mile 8 - every step is the farthest I've ever ran!
My knees are a little more achey now and I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow. I'm icing my knees as I type.
Below is my arsenal that I took w/ me on the run.
It contains 2 - 10 ounce water bottles full of electrolyte replacement drink, my cell phone, the pink sticking out is pink lemonade snackie, I had a gel snack pack in my shirt pocket, and .... there amongst the stuff is the pager. I'm on call this weekend. Thankfully no pages while running.
I survived and I felt good at the end - I felt like I could have kept running. I know this feeling won't last forever and there are going to be some really crappy runs to come, but I just try to enjoy each run on it's own and I can't worry about what the future will hold. One day and one run at a time! :)
