14 miles! that's over half a marathon! and i think this run felt the better than any in recent memory [ which haven't felt that bad ]. my legs are feeling noticeably stronger, which is a big help. i could have easily run another couple of miles today, which is a good sign that i'm not working things too hard [ relatively speaking ]. i seem to be doing a good job of respecting the long runs, by treating myself to a whopping plate of pasta and garlic bread the night before. there's nothing worse than thinking you can go into a long run powered on nachos and cheese [ a personal favorite ]
next week i'll cross the 30 mile mark by adding a mile to the mid week medium distance rund and two miles the long run. if you're keeping track at home, that's 4, 7, 4 and 16 miles for a grand total of 31 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."
