Saturday we did three things that if someone would have told me just a few months ago that I would be doing in January I would have thought they were crazy! First, we ran in single digit temperatures. Secondly, we ran while it was lightly snowing the entire time. And third, our long run this week was seven miles - and we did it and it felt pretty good! We ran at a nice, easy pace and it seemed to go well.
We were at a friend's house for the weekend, so that meant that we got to run together! I was nervous going into this run because I knew it was going to be so cold and it was the longest run yet. Truly the hard part wasn't the run but actually taking that first step out the door. Every time that we do something like this that seems impossible, then we are training our bodies and minds that, yes, we can do this!
This is week four of our training and after this week, we'll be 25% done. This week we have another long run coming up - 8 miles. I try not to think too far ahead because there will come a time when 8 miles won't be the long run, but will be the medium distance run in the middle of the week and there will be a truly long run at the end of the week.
