First week: almost done. Seventeen more to go. This morning was my first long run: 7 miles. The good news is that it felt great. An hour before my run I ate a half of a whole wheat English Muffin with peanut butter and drank a half a cup of coffee. Once a run exceeds an hour it's not a smart decision to do it on an empty stomach. Seven miles took me exactly an hour and ten minutes, which is a ten minute mile. I've decided that I will not wear my watch the day of the run. I'm trying to take a Buddhist attitude about my time. Or a Beach Boys attitude. (You get there faster if you take it slow.) After the run I ate the other half of the English Muffin with peanut butter and honey. As the runs get longer, I'll start using a gel pack about an hour into the run.
In more exciting news: Staycation is upon us!!
