I was pretty intimidated by the distance of today's run all week. I had 14 miles to do today, and I remembered how tired I was after the half-marathon a couple of weeks ago, as well as the leg pain I had last weekend, and was a bit worried about making the distance. All during the run today, I used mental and verbal affirmations to help me get through the run, which after all that worry, really wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be.
I completed the distance in 2:49 and had a bit of leg pain again after the run, but that was quickly taken care of with an ice bath. I didn't have any major pain running, although my right leg quadriceps was aching a bit at the end. I figured with that distance it was to be expected. So all in all, a great run, and a new long distance PR for me.
