I know what you're thinking...29 miles from 5 miles last week? Not quite. I ran 10 miles this morning and I think you can see from the picture that I took right after the run that I am happy as can be. You can also see that my bangs have a mind of their own.
It is my birthday today and the start of my 29th year. Which means I have exactly a year to run a marathon. My training during the week has been taking a back seat to school now that I'm back in class three nights a week, so I've been more than a little nervous for the long weekend runs. I definitely need to do some strength training to help what feels like iliotibial band syndrome.
Aside from some knee pain, the 10 mile run felt great this morning. I can't think of a better way to start a year.
Oh and if you want to get me something for my birthday this year, please make a donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I'm only $250 away from my Half Marathon goal!
