15 miles.....slowly!

This is my 2nd "long" run this week - if you include Sunday's HM - and was hoping that I would do well. Well, I knew that I would be struggling when I started my long run. But I was determined to finish this long run. My legs felt like lead...PERIOD! I struggled and struggled. I started to not care about my splits as long as I finished. The weather was great, my lungs were not suffering from the d*** humidity, and happy to be running with Josh at times. I was happy to finish and to know that I properly hydrated during the entire run. I plan to do MUCH BETTER next week.

Another great run

It was a great day outside - but a little windy and chilly by the lakefront - so I did my 40 minute run this afternoon after work. I struggled to finish the second half of my run as Josh and I ran against the wind. My GI track was not happy with the additional resistance.

At one point, I was going to stop at 35 minutes. But I did not give up at the end and completed my workout.
