Never got around to my 8 miler Saturday morning. Managed a somewhat quick 5k for a grand total of 11 miles last week... Oops! But I gave my knee the rest it needed and it felt great on my 9 miler this afternoon!
I had to do it on the t-mill. The baby was napping and that glowing thing in the sky that we fondly call "the sun", yeah, that thing sucks. Just kidding, I love the sun and warm weather but I'm not going to subject my body to that and I'm definitely not going to make Aria sit in her stroller for an hour and a half with the temps going on.
In fact, I've retired the stroller until the fall and, even then, just maybe once a week for easy runs.
9 miles felt great. Running on the treadmill was a bit dreadful but I survived. I listened to music for the first 4.5 miles and watched an episode of Doctor Who for the last 4.5. I find it really difficult to pay attention to TV while running but it made the time go by faster.
My time for this run was faster than my time for 8.65 miles 2 weeks ago. That is super exciting!
You ran 9 miles on a treadmill? Are you insane?!?! I can't even get past 4 miles on a treadmill. It makes me want to shoot myself. Anyway, I'm very proud of you!!
