I was a little late getting started with my run today. Saturdays are normally reserved for long runs to top off my shorter runs through the week. My "better half" accompanied me on the bike as I ran on the ATT trail. I took a brisk walk to warm up then my run began. My pace was not on track and mentally I strayed off focus. After 1.72 miles I took a walk break(2 min) then resumed running. I ran a total of 8.24 miles with about 3 walk breaks thrown in(about 2-3 min ea.). My endurance is slowly improving ,but I need to push my body a little more when it wants to quit, hopefully I can decrease my walk break to 1.
I am training for a quickly approaching 10K and really need to get in gear for the next few weeks. Fall is the most wonderful time to run , I almost wish the leaves would stay beautiful vibrant colors year round but I'm thankful to enjoy the season if only for a few months. My "bh" was a great support as well as good company( sometime drill instructor) and helped make the long run much more pleasant!!
