10 treadmill miles for 10th day of 2016 run streak – plus 0.5 miles to cool down after

by

I’ll start off with a quick congratulations to everyone who ran at the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend this year. I am still standing by my decision to find a way to make that happen again for me next January.

So today I spent most of the afternoon patching drywall and repainting…the pups were pretty destructive when we first got them…

This meant spending a lot of time kneeling on the floor and crouched over and my legs and back were not happy once it was time to run after supper.

But I knew I had to try to get a bit of a longer run in if I wanted to start rebuilding my endurance – so I popped a movie up and got started.

And I was ready to call it after a half hour but the movie was getting good so I kept going and in the end I had to make myself stop at the 10 mile mark (still close to an hour to go on the movie dammit). I hit 10 miles in 1:29:47 – not too shabby.

I then took my shoes off and walked for 10 minutes at 3 mph to stretch out the legs and feet a bit.

I am feeling pretty damned good now. The run streak is still working and I am still feeling motivated and have increased energy. If I keep being smart with when to throw in the 1 mile rest days I should be able to sustain this for quite a while!

Not sure what my run will be tomorrow – will have to wait and see how the legs are tomorrow night.
