i ran the twelve miler and for good measure i added a mile to the midweek run. i'm getting oh-so-close to the half-marathon milestone for my long run and i nearly ran a whole marathon's distance this week.
my big lesson for the week was that you really shouldn't try to squeeze out the last remaining weeks on a pair of running shoes. nope. your body is far, far more important than getting a couple of extra weeks of life on a pair of shoes. i started getting a few odd aches and pains this week, which i suspected might be due to my shoes wearing out. i put on a new pair for the 12 miler and things were noticeably better, so horray for that.
next week the long run is a 14 miler. i'll keep the mid-week junk miles the same as last week - 4 miles, 6 miles, and 4 miles for a grand total of 28 miles.
just in time for summer - look snazzy and support the site at the same time by buying some snowdeal schwag!
"I think you devise your own limits for your own personal convenience. There are some people who wish to have limits, and they'll invent as many boxes for themselves as they want. It's like, you know, men invented armor. They wanted to protect themselves from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and so forth. And people do the same thing psychically and psychologically. They build their own armor. They build their own rathole, whatever it is. And they choose their existence. Whether they do it consciously or whether it is helped along by a government or an education system, somebody is helping to shape this imaginary box you live in, but it doesn't have to be there."
