Second 9 Mile Run for my 1/2 Marathon Training

And I feel great!  NOT.  I kind of want to lie on the couch motionless for a week.  Instead I need to go make the kids dinner and get them to bed!

But hey, I did it.  (Not at a 9:13 pace, that was just my last half mile which I sped up for to get it done before my babysitter left!)

Next week… 10 mile long run.  I’m actually kind of excited because if I can run 10 miles, that’s only a 5k away from my half marathon, and I know I can run a 5k!  (Ok, I get that it doesn’t exactly work like that, but let’s go with the mental delusions since they’re positive.)

I even listened to a podcast for the first time from Abby’s recommendations!

My goal was to complete this 9 miles in under 1:40, which I SORT of did,
but actually I took a break to answer the phone when my mom called…
sooo… yeah.  But I did all nine miles!
I broke the 100 mile mark on our treadmill!
Would rather have run outside, but it’s over 90 degrees out.
Air conditioning wins.
