My running coach, Blue, was tough on me today. He seemed to miss the memo that today's run was about endurance, not speed. I didn't go as far as I wanted to - 5.64 miles - nor was my pace what I wanted, but I did it and that is what matters. When I look back on my past distances this was a good increase but I need to start stepping it up each week even more. Today was a little tough starting out. I felt like I was having to overcome a few things. But by the last 1/2 mile I was feeling like I could have gone further. My coach was encouraging it also, but he is now resting comfortably and probably glad we stopped when we did. Now for some ibuprofen, some stretching and a shower.
