WORKOUT: 8 miles/1:17.
8 miles. I made it to the 8 mile point in my journey to a half marathon. I have been including tons of hills while on vacation. Hills give me thrills! ...Not. At least once you get to the top, it's always an easy breezy jog downwards. My poor knees have been so sore, though. They aren't used to the stress of running up & down hills. Oh, well. I am so excited. :)
I passed a sweet, elderly man that was checking his mail as I was passing his house. He was so cute. He asked me, "How far ya goin', lil lady?" "8 miles today, I'm almost 6 miles in now, so I'm getting happy." "Oh, that's great. I swam a mile & a half today, so I feel pretty happy, too. Reach your goals!" I just smiled & kept running, but that sweet old man gave me the last boost of energy that I needed to finish strong today. God bless him. :)
