Went to bed last night around midnight, so I knew I'd be dragging this morning when I went down for my run at 7:00. Ran 6.3 miles. When I climbed up on the treadmill, I really doubted that I was going to be able to do it. Felt like maybe this is my limit, and I should just be content to stay at 5 miles or below. But, I engaged the self-talk engine, and somehow managed to pull it off. By the time I got to the last hill, the backs of my knees and hamstrings were feeling very tight, and I knew that I was approaching the limits of my capability; but it seems that I am approaching the limits of my capabilities every Sunday, so I guess I'll be done when I can't do it. Jillian is not empathetic, and has no sympathy for me; it's 7.3 miles next Sunday. Went to church about an hour after my run. Just had that tired, achey and spent feeling. Took a 2 hour nap after lunch. Felt better, but still tight. Can't hardly wait for that 7.3 mile run next Sunday. NOT! I know I don't have to do this, but I'm not getting any younger and I have set my sights on that grueling and hilly 15K in June, and I plan on completing that race, if my body will do the same. One good thing about the run is I burned 1300 calories, which means that I could eat more. But I got to thinking, "If I was lighter, it wouldn't take this long to run 7.3 miles, and this wouldn't hurt as much. I'm not that hungry now.
