School starts tomorrow. (insert mom doing happy dance here) Today I decided to do a longer run than usual. I ran up and around Communication Hill twice and then back home for a pit stop for a total of 10.5 miles. Then out again for another 4.25 around the neighborhood. So, 14.75 miles.
My longest run this summer before this one has been 13 miles. I like being a middle distance runner. I don't feel the need to do marathons any more - I've only done 2. I don't feel the need to show exactly how far I can push my body. I may not be the fastest or the longest but I know that you need to find your distance. What is your mileage? Where do you feel a little Zen?
Tomorrow I have to start breaking my run in two. I will get in as many miles as possible before I have to get the kids up at 6:30, make breakfast, make lunches, carpool and home again to run the 2nd leg. I should be in the shower by 8:45. And who cares if my hair doesn't look great until carpool pick up??
