I love that 6 miles now seems quite easy to run. Our first LONG run was only 5 miles and I remember that being HARD. Now, 6 miles is one of our short midweek runs. Amazing what 6 weeks of training can do. We ran 11 miles on Sunday- - -and that was TOUGH for me. I actually wanted to quit early for the first time. As far as cardio goes, I felt like I could run forever, but my legs just get so tired after 2 hours of running. And my knees are beginning to really hurt after long runs. I hope this does not become a problem. Sunday night I started having some SERIOUS doubts about my ability to cross the finish line in Chicago. Truthfully, I am scared to death. I want so badly to complete this. . . . .I don't want to give up. . . .I want to be like my dad. Please pray for my physcial health and for us to stay injury free.
On a lighter note, I have found a new piece of gear that I just LOVE called the
Sweat Gutr. Here is a picture of it:
It is literally this thin plastic gutter for your forehead that drains your sweat to the sides of your head instead of dripping down into your eyes. I was a bit skeptical when I ordered it, but I have worn it a few times now and I LOVE it. It doesn't keep ALL the sweat from your eyes, but it does a tremendous job. And, it doesn't get saturated with sweat like all other headbands that are fabric since it is soft plastic. I love it when I find new things that actually work! I won't run without it- - -especially in this heat!
