Today’s Workout:
6.1 Hilly miles- 66 min.
TGIF! It’s about time! I don’t know about you, but this week felt like it took a few days longer than usual to finish up! This morning I have watched a bunch of Youtube videos, and am feeling very BiPolar, or like a middle aged woman going through menopause. In the past 10 minutes I have been laughing hysterically, okay with life, and just completely bawling my eyes out. Damn you internet, with all of your emotional footage.
I came up with the route that we ran this morning, but clearly, I forgot how many hills it involves, or else I wouldn’t have suggested it. Our little village is in a valley, so to get out of it you have to go up- and down- and up- and down. The up’s felt way longer than the downs this time. The run took 66 minutes, a little longer than I wanted, but oh well. I don’t remember the last time I ran 6 miles, and it was before Thanksgiving that we went that route. On Sunday, my long run is 12 miles- I have never run 12 during training before, I’ve always stopped at 11 and had adrenaline push me through during races, but clearly this is a whole different games. Don’t even get me started on the fact that the long run the next week is 14. 14 miles. For real. Now I’m really in uncharted territory.
As a side note: when ever I refer to our village, and a village, I always picture:

But it’s really more like:

We have a movie theater, a book store, and 6 pizza shops in a 5 block stretch. We’re basically a booming metropolis.

Online window shopping. I currently have $624.09 of clothing in my cart- that I will never buy.
