I managed to crank out 11 miles this morning and it felt great! Last week I was quite unsure as to how I was going to accomplish a half marathon in a month. Now, I feel a heck of a lot better. Last week was just a really rough long run. It started out with very heavy legs and little desire to go. After stopping a couple of times in the first mile, I managed to pull it together. The last mile was horrible - a 12:xx mile. It seriously took all I had to get to 10. My music died at mile 3, I ran out of gu and something to drink, I was zapped.
But, today was great. The first couple of miles were smooth (they're usually the rough ones). I was even able to pick up the pace for the last mile.
On top of a great run, I managed to complete nearly all of my weekend tasks that I planned on Friday.
