Second Thoughts
I just wrote out all my hopes to train for a half and I'm already feeling discouraged. I ran six miles on Sunday at an OK pace. I felt fine. Nothing hurt, really, except for my hip for just a couple of minutes. Then Monday was a rest day. Monday night and this morning, though, my knees were feeling it a little. I ran this morning and made it fine.
I know I'm OK now, but I can't help from worrying about adding more mileage. Is it too much too fast? Will I inevitably injury myself? Maybe I just can't run that far this quickly. Maybe I need longer to train. Or maybe I just can't run that far without hurting myself at all. Le sigh. There is another half in the Outer Banks at the beginning of November. Maybe another month would do the trick.
This morning, it was nice and cool. It was 69 degrees. Chris stayed up really late working, so I tried to let him sleep in and took the boys in the jogger. It slowed me down some, so I didn't have as good of a pace as I would have liked. I wanted to quit at two miles, but I pushed on for three.
