On the road again!

A full 6 weeks into my training and things are going well. One injury that's healed and one blister are the only challenges I've encountered. Got to wear my new running hat today and it's so much better than the regular hats I was running in. Next up is a new pair of running shoes! I'm definitely going to need them for my longer runs.

Once again I had a late start and the sun wasn't kind. I really need to get up early to catch the cooler temps and less direct sun. My 7 miles today felt good overall and pleased with my pace, but it would have been rough doing 10 miles or more in the heat. I can't imagine how these longer runs are going to feel. Next week I'll be doing 12 miles. Getting closer to running further than I've ever run before! Exciting and a little intimidating!

Still trying to focus on positive self talk when things get hard and distracting myself or losing myself in the run instead of counting how many miles I have left. In the past I've always been more of a sprinter instead of a distance runner and those are two different mindsets. My goal is a big one, but with determination and support I know I can get there!

23 sessions down and 65 to go!
