Sunday was a rough day for running. Mary Katherine (my best friend and now marathon running buddy) and I set out to run 4 miles on the Katy Trail. This was not a cold turkey 4, this was a 4 mile run that I thought I was prepared to tackle after a few weeks of training (albeit, I hadn't been the most dedicated trainee). I was wrong. 3 miles in I had to throw in the towel...reminding me just how far I have to go before I am ready for November.
This morning, however, was an entirely different story. I felt great. I felt like I was flying...only not in the sense that it was easy or pain free...just that I was running a lot faster than I normally do. I have only felt this way a couple other times since the start of my running career. I don't think it's the same as the elusive "runner's high," but I'll take it!
I'm conquering the 4 mile hurdle this Saturday...rain or shine, and if I can keep running like this morning, I'll do it in record time. Well, at least a personal record.
