I ran 7 miles this Saturday, which is the new longest distance I've done since the marathon. I felt great. I think I was never really paying attention to my body, and now I really do when I run. I suspect that I always felt achy, probably moreso than I do now, but now I'm more careful. I still want to run well into my life, so why kill myself now.
I ran on Kelly Drive early in the morning on Saturday. My headphones went kaput halfway through, but that was actually kind of nice. I focused on the pretty scenery and not much else and was able to completely zone out.
I needed that zen-ness for the rest of my day--Tara's Bachelorette Party! We visited a spa. The pedicure I got included a massage of my calves, which was sooooo needed. Then we went out dancing and stayed up way too late eating awful things, but it was a blast.
This week's long run will be 8 miles, and I'll get to do it at home in NY before we head up to a big family party at Michael's aunt and uncle's in upstate NY. I like the route I run by my parents' house, and it'll be a new milestone.
Also in the plans...new shoes. YAY! Happy Monday :)
