At this point in my training I thought that I would be struggling both physically and mentally. Surprisingly neither have been an issue, yet! On Sunday it felt like I was starting to get shin splints but I squashed it with some anti-inflammatory meds and stretches. I am certain it was because the uneven surfaces on my lake run Saturday. Everything I read emphasizes that running long distances is a mental game, it's all in your head, and after running 8 miles of hills I am convinced it's true! When it comes down to it, I know I can!
What a scary week!!
So what does Halloween have in store for this running maniac???... I have two major hurdles to overcome! This week I will running my first 10 mile training run and I will be breaking 20 miles for my weekly total! This week will be like going trick-or-treating, it's in the bag, guaranteed. More miles behind me!
