Only Three More "Long" Runs Until The Big Day!

Jul 21

7.18.10

I did it - I ran 9 miles this morning. It was the hardest yet. At 6 miles, I had to go to the bathroom bad. I hate that when that happens:) So, I went to the bathroom at a gas station and continued on with 3 more miles. Those last 3 were very hard. It felt like my legs wouldn't go anymore. This time I got chills early, like around 4 miles - so wierd! I ran 4 miles twice during the week and that never happens. Anyway, I plan to rest and stretch today. Only three more "long" runs until the big day - August 14th (Half Marathon). I'm soooo nervous - I just keep telling myself I can do this!

The longest I'd ran in training at one time was 9 miles so I wasn't sure how'd I feel. Crossing that finish line was a little emotional - I couldn't believe I had just ran 13.1 miles! Just keep the positive mental talk that you can do it and you'll do GREAT!; July 21, 2010 at 3:38 PM
Mommy Movement Fitness said...: Thanks for the support and comments. I am staying positive and it's great to hear about your first time. I feel like I have a TON of questions. What seemed to be the hardest for you - the beginning, the end, did you have to go to the bathroom, did you take a break etc.? I'm just so curious - I've asked Tonya lots of questions but seem to always have more. Good luck Christina on the 14th!; July 23, 2010 at 11:19 AM

The Journey

"When are you due?" This is a question I've been asked too many times....and I'm NOT Pregnant. I don't like the way I look, the way I feel and I'm going to do something different for myself, for my family, for my daughter who watches and looks up to me. -Krista Hunt
