Well Hello Friday – so glad you showed up! It has been a long week…nothing dramatic, just one of those weeks where you feel like you’re running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off! I was very happy to wake up this morning and know it was Friday and the weekend is coming!
This morning was also my first 9 mile run! I will admit that I was a little nervous about trying this distance. I tweeted before I left that I was going to take on a new distance, and almost instantly I got tweets from so many other runners encouraging me, wishing me a good run and telling me to have fun! It was the nice little boost I needed before heading out the door. I’ve said it before, but I have to say it again – I love how supportive the running community is!
It was a beautiful morning for a run – in the mid-40s and bright sunshine. As I set out, I decided to not focus on the distance, but just run and enjoy the first signs of spring finally creeping into New England. I’m happy to say that it was a fairly uneventful run – took two quick walk breaks first to stretch out my left leg a little and then when I discovered that I cannot run and chew Chomps at the same time 🙂
So now it’s time to enjoy the great weather on deck for the weekend!
I always get excited and apprehensive about a new distance or a distance I haven’t done in a while.
You are right about the running community. The runner bloggers are usually so generous with their encouragement and assurances.
Enjoy the rest of your day and your weekend!
Congrats on your run! That’s awesome!
Great job tackling those 9 miles. Enjoy your weekend!
Nice job! That sounds like a great run.
I just got your bumper sticker in the mail. Thank you so much! It is rocking out on my bulletin board at work 🙂
An uneventful 9 is awesome! WTG!
Good job for tackling the 9 miles and enjoying it 🙂
I just stumbled across your blog. Nice job on the 9 miles 🙂
