This may be true but I came pretty close on Saturday. I did my 7 miles in one fractured outer loop of the park, one reservoir and one bridle path, back onto the outer loop, across 102 and down around to Cherry Hill. I ate the sport beans after one hour and alternated water and nuun kona kola to drink. I sweat so much that I think I shorted out my ipod shuffle. But I did it and I felt great. Almost pain free!
I have been using the foam roller and doing my best to be kind to my body. Yesterday's recovery run was fine and I think if the weather would just give a little, I could break through that wall that is keeping me from LOVING this. I am firmly settled on the determination side of running, I just want to really be able to physically enjoy it.
Just got my TNT practice info for tomorrow: Hill Training Starts: "Half-marathoners/Beginners: From Cherry Hill, you'll warm up heading east on the transverse. Make a left at the end of the transverse, continuing to the bottom of Cat Hill, at the traffic light next to The Boathouse (a coach will be there). That's the starting point for our hill repeats. We'll be running up to the top of Cat Hill, to the traffic light at the top. Then we'll turn around, go back to the starting point at the bottom of the hill and repeat. You'll do 3-4 roundtrips."
