Yesterday was my long run day. I've finally broken double digits and hit 10 miles yesterday. When I started this process 5 weeks ago my first "long" run was 6 miles and I've been adding approximately a mile a week to my long runs. I've then been supplementing those long runs with 2-4 mile maintenance runs 2-3 times a week.
After this weeks long run, I think I'm going to have a slow recovery week this week, probably only doing 2 days of maintenance runs to let my body recover a little. I felt pretty sore this morning but after a shower and some play time with my boys I'm feeling much better. This week I'm planning on heading over to a local running store in Westboro to have them look at the running and casual shows I've been wearing and get some feedback on new shoes and anything I can do to prevent any of these little nagging injuries that will be with me through the process.
I'm looking forward to hearing from the LLS hopefully at the beginning of the week so I can get the fundraising part of this journey under way to go with the training. We'll see what this week brings, either way I have had a nice Thanksgiving weekend with my healthy happy family and feel so very lucky to be in such a great place with my life right now.
