(Not) Running: Saturday August 8

Today is supposed to be my long run day, 7 miles. I was really looking forward to it all week, but as it approached I got more and more nervous. I have never run that far before, and I was worried about finishing it. Then my sister mentioned that she wanted to go out last night, and I jumped at the chance, sabotaging the run.

We stayed out pretty late, so this morning I woke up a little after 8. When I saw the time, I was immediately disappointed in myself. I thought, "I could have been finished with my 7 miles by now!" I am a morning person, I love waking up at 6 and getting things done, especially running. The weather is finally gorgeous - dry and cool enough to run outside, so there are no excuses. I've learned my lesson.

The plan for today is to rest, drink lots of water, stretch, clean up the apartment, and run a few errands. Then tomorrow morning get up at 5:45 and run to Fenway Park and back, conquering those 7 miles! I know I can do this, and I will.
