We ran hills today. My calves are still killing me and it was so hot outside. I’ve really got to practice in the afternoons so I can get used to the heat. We did a 1 mile loop to get some hill training in. I think it was great – although really tough. The first mile, I lead the pack and we ran a 9:15 mile. I’m excited I was able to do that, even if it was only for 1 mile! I would love to be able to run a 5k averaging 9 minute miles. The second two miles were tougher, but I ran it and ran almost the whole thing. I was Not leading the pack by the end, but I wasn't too far behind. There were a few minutes where I was certain I was going to pass out or vomit. I can't believe that this far into training, I can still feel so bad after such a short run. That's a little frustrating. I want to just start loving running, but it hasn't happened yet.
We kept it at 3 miles today so we could get used to the hills. This is definitely something I need to add into my weekly training, if I can even get back to daily running.
Also found out that Michelle, Kate and I will be staying 3 extra days in San Fran! And for no extra flight cost! I'm really excited and hope we're all feeling ok after the marathon. I need to start researching what to do.
