Pre-jog thoughts: I can’t believe my class reunion is over. You know, I weighed myself once near the start of June–and had lost nothing. Total bullshit. I vowed not to weigh myself again. Ever. We still had fun, but I need to burn off some of those extra calories from mom’s.
Jog thoughts: Excited to jog. I feel so much better following every run. That in itself scares me. To death.
I didn’t feel like I’d smash any records, but I promised myself I’d not walk. Even if it took me 12 hours to finish, I was jogging the whole way.
Post Jog: Shocked as heck that I broke my last record. Shocked.
What I Noticed: The hills aren’t as intimidating now as they were when I started. I read advice in a runner’s magazine (I didn’t just buy it for the pictures) that suggested not looking ahead on hills, but focus on the bit of road just beyond your toes. Worked for me. Of course, my calves didn’t follow that advice and still know the hills are hills.
