Just Another #SundayRunday 10 Miler

In the last 8 days I’ve run 31.44 miles. It amazes me that I’ve been able to push myself to do that. I know, I know some people run that in two days but for now I’m pretty happy with myself! I actually saw this quote posted today on Facebook & it is so true.

“What seems impossible today will one day become your warm-up.”

I finally got my butt up and moving on a weekend morning to get my long run in. I was glad I did because leaving at 7:20am it was still incredibly humid. It felt good though to get up and moving. I did make the mistake of going for a 2-3 mile walk last night in flip flops. My hamstrings kind of hated me.

I decided to try out a different type of route today. In my mind it was perfect & going to be just the right length. While it was just the right length, it definitely was not thought out very well. I managed to hit 7 hills (down and up counts as one) along the way. Needless to say my hamstrings kind of hate me right now.

On the upside, I dropped 10 seconds off my mile time from last week. This weeks fuel was back to the GU Gel. I did try a different flavor of it and instead of a second shot along the way I tried the GU Chomps Energy Chews. I really liked the taste of the chomps but I didn’t feel the energy burst. To be fair I did not eat the whole pack and I think instead of one at a time I’ll try two next week. They settled MUCH better in my stomach than the Jelly Belly Sports Beans.

Week six is officially in the books! How was your run on this beautiful #SundayRunday?
