8 Mile Run
I went for an 8 mile run today. It was misting rain and chilly. With the hip issues, I probably shouldn't have run the hills, but I didn't want to have to drive somewhere to then run. Around mile 2, I could feel myself struggling. I knew I had a long way to go if I wanted to complete the loop (which consists of running up part of Peter's Mountain). I turned the music up on my ipod and pushed through it. I didn't know how far I had gone because I changed my route mid run. I was happy and surprised to discover that I had gone farther than what I had originally thought.
I knew my feet were cold and wet, but I didn't realize just how wet. My feet were SOAKED, and I was really chilled. My fingers were so cold that I had a hard time taking my shoes off.
But I'm pleased with myself. I am still slow though. I ran a 10:40 pace for 8 miles. My hip hurts, but not as bad as I anticipated. I'm glad I was able to get it in today.
