I've gotten to 8 mile LR. I have 9 mile and 10 mile ones coming up!
Thursdays are my hardest nights because it's my fastest pace and it's almost exclusively on a treadmill. I feel like right now I could finish the half marathon but not as fast or as pretty as if I keep on training. And so I'll keep on training!
My 9 mile LR coming up will be my first "fuel" test run since it will be longer than 90 minutes. Wish my stomach luck!
BONUS Answer: I've been listening to a lot of rundisney playlists on spotify lately during my long runs and easy runs. Lots of music that isn't so heart pumping that I'll want to go too fast and it keeps me in a good mood. I listen to more intense dance music and running/workout playlists on spotify for my tempo runs because it "amps me up" more. I tried podcasts and I just tune them out.
I'm bringing my earbuds with me for Tink, but I want to try not to use them at all and "soak it in" like Ariel said. If I need them on the back half out of the park they will be there for me.
