I think today's distance has been more intimidating than any other I have run or even had as a goal so far. I was scheduled to run 10 miles today, a distance not unheard of by many, but was never in my list of goals or accomplishments, until today that is. I slept pretty good last night and got up this morning at 6:00 AM feeling pretty good. I headed out to the local river trail that I usually run on, and stretched and warmed up. The run went pretty good, as I was able to keep my heart rate below 150 the entire run. I am noticing that it is taking a good 2-3 miles to get my heart rate up to where it stays for the run, which is good I guess. About half way through, I downed a Gu (mmm....Chocolate) and took a brief restroom break, and headed back. The last 2 miles seemed to stretch out a bit, but by then, I was in familiar territory and knew that I could finish the distance remaining. I finished up at 10.5 miles, did some more stretching, and headed home to shower. All in all a great run!
