We've now officially been running for 2 months now, which is longer than I've stuck to running on my own in the past! We had a nine mile run last night, which we ended up doing pretty much in the dark since we couldn't start until about 730pm because yesterday was an unusually busy Sunday. It was kinda nice though becuase it wasn't hot at all.
We ran the whole nine miles, without stopping, but our pace was slow--a 9:45 average pace, when we're going for a nine minute mile pace on the marathon. So I was frustrated with myself for not doing better and holding Landon back, but I keep trying to remind myself that at least I was able to complete nine miles, which I wouldn't have been able to do in the past. And if we kept up that pace for the half marathon we would have finished about 30 minutes faster than when we ran the half marathon in January. So, progress is there, just not as much as I'd like.
But, I will say this. Slow pace or now, just running for an hour and a half or so was something--because I am definitely feeling it today, which hasn't happened to me in a while. My legs are not exactly sore, but they're not happy with me. They're tired. Today I'm thankful that today is a "rest and stretch" day.
