Thursday's run happened on Saturday , but it went very well. I planned a six mile run and was nearing the end and I felt like I could go further, so I did. I ran 7.5 miles. Now I'm shattered.
I always knew I had an iPod for a reason (and I knew that shuffle button was for something, too). The further I go, the more I need music to keep me going. Today I was thinking that when I get closer to doing a whole marathon, it'd be good to figure out how long I expect it to take, and to make a playlist of songs that are good to run to (I'm learning quiet alot about this already, and it can be quite surprising), make the playlist as long as my marathon, and then it will guide me through the process. If I can be organised enough to do so, it will be brilliant.
There are a few other things that I'm going to have to get organised with if I'm going to start running longer. I'll have to start timing myself, and I could do with some proper running pants still (chaffing is lessening but is still distinctly there!), and I need some better routes (car fumes clogging up my aeolis, or whatever they're called). And I could do to find a marathon to run, and a half marathon to help me on the way, which will have to be quite soon at this rate.
I plan to run once in the week (possibly) and then do a long run (I keep wanting to use the word 'marathon' as a metaphor) on saturday (definately).
