Yesterday. I was nervous about running again. Even though I ran nearly 3 miles, to me that is not sufficient. I want to be able to run 6 or 7 miles without even thinking. With my goal of running the Spotsy 20 Miler, I feel that I need to be able to do this and I believe that I will be able to successfully complete the race. So I wanted to be able to get at least 4 miles yesterday. Now I know that even with an injury which I am still slowly working through, I know that I absolutely have to cut down on mileage. Also, I know that I have to stretch more, which I am doing.
So I got out there and started running in Fredericksburg National battlefield. I have run there a bunch of times. I went there yesterday because I needed to be in a little bit of shade because it is summer here and pretty hot. So I started my run and then I found a path that I had been on before. Usually I can't see the path as well but yesterday I followed it through, it was so much fun. Not only did I find myself running longer, but also I found myself running faster. I was concentrating on my form as well. Man was it fun. When I got out off the path I headed back to my car and I threw in the towel at 6 miles. I had to stop to walk for the last half mile but I was completely happy with a six miler. I got in the car all sweaty and tired and happy. It was a good day. Another good run. I got home, stretched again and slept.
