Just a quick update! I completed 9 miles yesterday. 9 miles!!! I'm not going to lie though. This was a really tough 9 miles for me. My energy wasn't as high as in previous runs, I had trouble relaxing and putting my mind at ease, and to add to my problems I wore the wrong socks and ended up with a bloody ankle. You would think that after all these runs I would know the proper socks to wear running but...nope. Lesson learned.
I'm beginning to think that I need to make some changes to my diet. I have a fairly healthy diet as it is but I'm not sure if I have the "runners diet". Maybe I should start looking into more carbohydrate rich but still healthy meals for the next week. The race is in less than 2 weeks. I have a 10 mile run scheduled for next Saturday and the Saturday after that is race day. I'm looking forward to it. I've trained for a long time and I'm ready to cut back on the amount of days I run. I definitely want to keep doing the long distance weekend runs but maybe only run 3 days a week instead of 4. We'll see. Be well everybody!
Take care of yourself and each other...
