I learned several things during today's run, which was 15 miles and somewhat labored. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, especially for a November morning. The temperature was in the mid-60's, the sun was shining, and there was a nice breeze from the south. What a great day for a run!
I haven't been faithful the last few weeks with my upper body and ankle weight exercises, and today I felt the result of that. My upper body felt fatigued and my hips were a little sore. Also, I haven't done regular long runs the past couple of weeks, last week's because of not feeling good and the week before was divided into three parfts when I ran a 5k race. All that combined to make today tough. The marathon is in four weeks, so I persevered, knowing what's ahead. Hopefully that counts for something. I was going to run the hills of Flintlock today but ended up circling Pleasant Valley Baptist Church four times but then walking a third of a mile before heading down the hill.
