Disney 2010 - Training Week 13

Didn't do very well this week. my legs were so sore from last weekend's half marathon. I hate running. no really, I do. I got out for 5 miles on Tuesday or Weds, running was difficult, so i walked as much as i ran in a pyramid format. Then I went out for a few - I think it was Wednesday night - but I only completed 2 miles.

Today was the long run. The positives - we got up before the freaking crack of dawn and finished 20 miles. The negatives - diarrhea hit me around mile 12. Jeanine cramped up around mile 15 and couldn't run anymore so we walked the last 5 miles. our average pace was 12:16 for the entire 20 mile treck. Let me just take this opportunity to say: I dont like this at all. I dont like running more than 15 miles at any time. I dont like my feet and legs hurting for days. I dont like the fact that a 'long run' doesn't just take me 5 hrs, but it also costs me most of the rest of the day with my family because I was up at 5 am, slept like crap, and poured every ounce of my energy onto the pavement.

I will be so very very proud to get my Disney metal, but I dont foresee any future races that are longer than 13.1 miles.
