Another good week! There were some frosty mornings, so I did some runs on the treadmill indoors (along with my Orangetheory classes).
Today’s long run was actually wet and a bit warmer. I did 10 miles, or just over 16K, which is where my long run will stay for a few weeks. Since that’s about a third of my total weekly mileage, my legs are feeling it on the long runs, but it is starting to feel a bit better. My body is adapting. When it started to feel a bit hard on today’s run, I reminded myself, “I’m training for the Boston Marathon!” That thought brought a feeling of joy that carried me through the rest of the run.
