Yup. I had planned on it, but bailed more worried about rain. Just ran 10 this morning instead. But when I opened door and headed out at 5:45, I was surprised by no threat of rain yet oppressive humidity.

Mad props for getting that done.

(Side note, wasn't all thrilled with that medal. I decided to save the effort for Wine & Dine in a few weeks.)

It was ugly, but I did it. Medal actually looks pretty cool in person, especially for a small race. Wine and Dine will be much fancier

I pushed my training and made this a back to back run weekend. Seven mile run on Friday, 15 yesterday. I did the 7 early and it was pretty cold, about 34 degrees. I was able to go a little later in the morning yesterday so it was a little warmer. My legs were tired in the beginning but I stayed slow, stuck to my 2:1 and was able to push through.

I think this was more about mental training than physical. I mean, the physical was still there obviously but I had to do 3 loops of 5-ish miles so seeing the same thing over and over got to be a bore. Plus as I stopped at my car for water and gels and stuff, I could have got it and said, eh, I've done enough.
But I had to push through the tired, pain and boredom. I'm a little stiff this morning, mostly ankles. My calves will probably feel it later. I'll just keep popping the Advil liqui-gels.

Great job! The mental aspect is sometimes 90% of the battle lol.... Way to go for keeping with it!!!!

I agree - it's a mind game for the most part. Push past that and you'll be surprised what the body is able and willing to do for you.

robynslp · 10-07-2012, 11:01 AM

Totally agree with the mental aspect. At mile 5 today, boredom set in. My music mix is getting old to me. I started doing math in my head. Let me just say, I hate math and am horrible at it, but it kept me going and I made it over that mental bump. (I was subtracting numbers from 100 all the way back to 0)

About mile 7 I saw our cat that had run away and I thought was long passed on. Made me happy to know that she rehomed herself and I thought about that for a good bit of the run. The last mile was brutal. But that was the last mile. I swear my hips quit moving when I see my house!

PRmamiDEdos · 10-07-2012, 12:22 PM

So friggin proud of myself!!! Had my Diva 1/2 today and I PR'd by almost 50 minutes! I am mad at myself for letting my DD's math teacher pass me, but my feet were killing me and she finished almost 3 minutes ahead. Blah, LOL.

Thanks! I was trying to push so I could see DD's soccer game but I didn't make it because of the traffic getting out.

Now I have the Rock n Roll 10k on Saturday. How do I build back up for that?

Shoe question- So I went from the Nike Frees (I think 4mm drop) to the New Balance Minimus (zero drop). I had my first run two days ago in them and went 4 miles. It felt great at the time of running but my left foot and leg is really aching. Is this common when transitioning? Also I usually run on concrete and I ran on something different. Not sure how to describe it; we were vacationing in Williambsburg Va and I ran through the historical part of town. It's like tiny pebbles in concrete maybe?

I thought maybe that made it worse. Anyhow, the view was gorgeous but horse poop- not so much

DrMomof3 · 10-07-2012, 12:51 PM

Congrats Shaelee!
I also PR'd my half this morning. Waiting for Official Time but Garmin time was 2:28:54. My previous PR was 2:36:41 so almost 8 minutes faster. Very pleased!

Gee...that's a great question. Maybe do a small 2-3 mile mid week?

I am impressed with all the races you are doing! Are these in prep for the Disney or do you just enjoy racing? I have not done a race in two years and decided to do a 10k next month just to get in a corral. I didn't realize how nervous I was until I signed up. I used to race all the time and doing the Disney was an after thought but always on my bucket list. I am only doing the half because at 44 I don't think I have a full in me anymore!
