Route & Stats : Whittlingham Hall & Through The City
I ran 6 miles tonight. Not because I wanted to, but because I needed to. 6 miles took me to 500 miles since I start training in September - FIVE HUNDRED MILES!!!
It was probably 6 of the worst miles of the 500. No energy, sore ankles, heavy legs. In fact at one point I actually felt quite sick. After the high of last Sundays half marathon, this most certainly was a low. However, my experience now tells me that this is OK, it happens, don't get down about it. So I haven't and I won't. I think last Sunday took it out of me and I am still recovering.
It's only 4 and a bit weeks to the marathon and I know I can do it. So whatever happens between now and then is not an issue. If I run well great, if I don't no bother. I will complete 26.2 miles.
Anyway 500 miles, that is the point of this posting. I have worn out one pair of running shoes and have already broken in the next pair - the same make and model only half a size bigger which feels more comfortable - apparently your feet swell quite a lot when running a marathon!
