Today I had my first long run of the marathon training plan--a mere six miles. But I was TERRIFIED due to my inability to run 3 miles both Wednesday and Thursday of this week. I set out after a quick prayer for help and ran, ran, ran!
I ran from my sister's house in Bedford ALL the way to Merrimack (my old stomping grounds!) and back. I really needed to kick butt on this run or I would have seriously reconsidered this whole marathon idea... And I did! And now I only have 20.2 more miles to go... YIKES!
My stats:
Total Time: 1:04:01
Total Distance: 6.00 miles
Calories Burned: 801
Average Pace: 10:40 min/mile
Average Heart Rate: 169
I feel great! I could have kept going! I will post the route when I return to MD and can sync my GPS watch with my computer.
Next workout: some sort of strength and cross-training (slow walk) tomorrow!!!
