Today was my last long run before my Half marathon coming up in just 22 days! I can't even believe how close it is. Even though today was my last long run before the big 21 km run, it was yet another milestone for me as the furthest distance I've run yet. Today I did 18km! I was nervous going into it, because they way it played out was going to give me a feel for how ready I am for my half marathon. I should probably give myself a little more credit, I mean I have been training for this run since July. I have sacrificed, I have been sore, I have had bad runs and good runs, but bottom line is I have stuck to the plan, pushing myself to get to a goal. And I am ALMOST there. I can see it the finish line. I think some people think " why would you want to run 21 km, or for 2+ hours?? " or " what do you get out of running?" For me, I get a feeling of accomplishment after every run, whether it was 5k or 18k, fast or slow, I feel accomplished. Its me and my dog, music in my ears and the pavement beneath my feet. And, of course, the smaller waistline is a major bonus!
The next couple weeks will likely play out as:
5k on Monday (28th Oct )
5k on Wed (30th Oct )
8k on Fri (1st Nov)
4k on Mon (4th Nov)
4k on Wed (6th Nov)
6k on Fri (8th Nov )
3k on Mon (11th Nov)
3k on Wed (13th Nov)
14th-Leave for VEGAS!
17th-Half Marathon!
Happy Running!
