It was amazing how productive I felt today knowing that I conquered my long run yesterday. It was a guilt free day in every sense. I was reminded of my accomplishment every time I got up or down from a sitting position. My right knee was achy for most of the day. After soaking in the tub again tonight it's starting to feel better.
The weather is supposed to be crappy again tomorrow so if I'm going to fit in my run it will have to be on a dreadmill. I will definitely have to foam roll afterwards.
I'm feeling a bit more confident in my half marathon training after this past weekend. I still have a tough few weeks ahead of me. I'm not expecting to run the entire half on May 5th. I may run five miles, walk one mile, run five miles, walk one mile, and then run the final mile. I'll definitely be stretching along the way. And doing a much better job about fueling.
Note to future marathon runners.... do NOT rely solely on gels for fuel. The gels made me want to hurl after the half way mark. And when I didn't hurl, I could have used a port-a-potty. TMI?? Well, live and learn. I could have used that tidbit prior to my previous race. New race means new strategy!
