Overall it was a good run. It was work at times, but it felt good afterward. Having someone else there kept me going. I layered clothes and was still a bit cool, but sweaty at the same time. I had to shed my skin and bring on the ducks, but I made it. The chill only allowed the skin to fall off through my knees, it wouldn't let go below that. It was like a hard shell that wouldn't crack. I could make it a little softer, but it never completely shed. I had to keep envisioning my finishline and my family.
6 mile run; 1/2 mile walk; accomplishment!; RPE - 4.5
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ON SO MANY LEVELS!!!
ReplyDeleteOvercoming fears is a huge accomplishment!! The fact that you thought 18 degrees was "perfect" makes me smile...I have thought that for years:) It is only perfect when you exercise and are appropriately dressed!! Most people think we are nuts for thinking 18 degrees is perfect!!
Sorry I have not been monitoring lately...not only have I been very busy with work (I think this may be my last year) and I have been fighting a head/chest cold this week.
I will try to do a better job of posting and monitoring this week. I have not forgot about you and will keep checking your progress!!
Oh, I'm hosed! I just realized some of my comments didn't get published. Dang! ARGH. The second paragraph is missing like 5 sentences.
ReplyDeleteI knew you didn't abandon me. I knew you'd be back. You just can't resist. ;) I do miss your commentary, though. 22 was the perfect part, not the 18 by the way. haha. I was just excited to maintain good posture throughout. 7 miles scheduled this week for the long run. I'll be breaking records from here on out...
