hit a personal best last night. was at the gym trying to go to yoga and was 10 mins late, so no namaste for this chicadee.
hopped on the treadmill with the intent of running 4 miles. about 3 in, i decided that i was going to hit 6 miles. when i reached 5, i thought what the hell and decided to go to 8. so, 80 mins later of running and i had finished 8 miles.
it felt amazing!! that was my personal best that i have ever hit. one small problem afterward. my right groin muscle is hurting. given it is my fault because i didn't really stretch myself out after.
stocked up on a big thing of chocolate milk as this is supposed to aid in recovery.
going to see how i feel by the end of today, but most likely sticking to strength training tonight. i do have to say that i was shocked that i felt like i could have kept going. i have just never spent that much time on the treadmill and always felt that i couldn't do it.
they always say in yoga that you are supposed to dedicate your practice to something and decide what your intent is for the day. i guess mine was to have a KICK ASS run and be able to walk the next day.
i got a couple of half marathon listings from a colleague today. going to see if i can do this. then it is one thing i can cross off of my life to-do list.
namaste....
