Mile 10

Now that we're getting into longer miles, I feel like each week is different.  I never really had a problem with getting muscle soreness, didn't worry about what I was eating during the week or about how I would get in touch with someone in case of emergency.  It's all different now that we've passed the 10 mile marker.

            Two weeks ago, my boyfriend and I ran with the Jacksonville team, 10 miles.  We ran almost the entire time and I’m very proud he was able to do it with me, since he’s not been training with us.  We met the team at 6am, but didn’t start running until almost 7, which was a bit frustrating.  The weather was hot and humid and my glasses fogged up a lot.  The glasses are going to be a problem I’m afraid. 

            On Friday night, we went to a wedding rehearsal and ate at the grooms parents beautiful home.  Although Delicious, it wasn’t the healthiest food, but I still felt pretty good running on Saturday.  The Jacksonville team has 3 members and they were pretty quick.  It was a little intimidating, but it was nice to meet them all, since we’ll be in California together. 

This was the first week I got pretty bad blisters on my feet.  Towards the end of the run, I had to walk and even that was painful for my feet.  I think I need to go to a shoe store this week, because blisters are not cool.  My legs were sore for the first time after running as well.  The friend we were staying with gave me the weirdest looks as I lay on her floor with my feet up on the wall!  Strange, but it works J

After our run, we went to the wedding at 2pm.  Wearing heals was tough!  It was open bar, but we were so tired neither of us drank much and we were thrilled to be crawling into bed at the end of the night!

 

Here’s us after our 10 mile run!
