Well now, that wasn't so bad!

Another 10 miles today. Who knew I would ever say those words??? And I actually feel sort of all right, which is shocking in its own way.

Here's what I did today: in the past weeks, I have been walking for 8 minutes and then jogging for one minute. This was all good, until last week's 10 miles, after which I was in pain and having swollen knees all week long. This morning, (after a late start. Sorry team, if you were waiting around for me!) I walked for 8 minutes and then instead of jogging, I picked up the pace and did a fast walk for that one minute. Over the 10 miles, it only added 4 minutes to my total time, and I felt much, much better at the end of it. So I think that is the strategy I will pursue for the half marathon next Sunday.

Heck, I had enough energy to put on my daughter's 2nd birthday party this afternoon! Now after that, I am tired!
