Today was an easy run, a 3 miler. My husband got up and ran with me today! The weather was great, overcast but not too humid and there was a slight breeze.
We took a stretch break half way through but it was short and we finished with about 11 minute miles. I sprinted the last quarter of a mile and it felt really easy. I have to say that these runs this week feel a LOT easier than last week.
Just like last week, I am starting to get sleepier and sleepier every morning I get up early. Tomorrow is my rest day, YAY! So, I will get to sleep in about an hour, which will be really nice. Then Friday is a 6 miler and Saturday is 11 miles! Eeek! I am trying really hard to be confident about that run, but I haven't ran that far in a while...I gotta get used to it though - 26 is a LOT farther.
Speaking of long runs, I have started to think about how in the world I am going to entertain myself. I don't have a running partner - love my husband but he doesn't seem that interested in actually doing this marathon - so I am going to have to provide my own entertainment. I love listening to music...but I think that will get old at about 90 minutes down...since it will probably take me about 5 hours to do the marathon, I need to figure something else out for training for the long runs. I am not worried about the actual run, I think the excitement of the race and the race entertainment will get me through it...but the 20 miler training runs, yikes! A friend of mine suggested audio books that are fun stories, like Harry Potter. I think I will try that out. Maybe this weekend? 11 miles will probably take me about 2 hours, wowsers.
