- Sunday was my first long run to do. It was 6.2 miles (10k). I finished it about 40 seconds per mile slower that I typically would run 4 miles. At first it was hard to mentally make myself slow down, but it paid off in the last 2 miles of the run where I don't think I could have made myself go faster anyways. Above is a picture of Oaks Bottom Wildlife refuge, there is trail that follows the top side of the wetlands. I always include the Bluff trail on my long runs. It gets me off running on concrete for 2 miles and I enjoy trail/ forest running rather than sidewalks and cars making right turns that never look who's coming from their right and blocking the street. I know every runner feel this pain.
- The run ended up being pretty hard. I was sore and limping around afterwards but by morning I was ok. I think this might be how it will be for a while until I get use to increased distances.
