Lessons from Today’s Run

Today I learned:

  • I must pay more attention to what I eat the night before a long run. Note to self, no more Italian subs with hot peppers…’nuff said!
  • Seeing some friendly faces about half way through a long run gives me a great lift!
  • When negative thoughts start to creep in, I need to remind myself how far I’ve come in just a year of running.
  • Still trying to figure out mid-foot strike on hills – I think I’m up on my toes a lot, which makes my calves tire quickly.

It was beautiful weather for a run this morning, and with a busy weekend ahead it was great to get my 7 miles done. Just Pilates and strength training tomorrow and a short run on Sunday left on the plan for this week.

Happy Friday & 
Shout Outs to anyone racing this weekend!

  1. Congrats on the great run. I learned quickly that the meal just before you do a long run can have an amazing impact on how well you do. Great things to think about.

  2. Great job on your run! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Hope that you will find a more comfortable gait so that you aren’t landing on your toes. I have a blog post about that, maybe it’ll help! Have a great day! http://tinyurl.com/4h28qa9

  3. I have learned way too many times what not to eat the night before a run. I have a strict Mexican food limit within 12 hours of a run.
