My left hip is feeling a little raw, but other than that, I'm feeling great. It's going better than I was hoping. I think because of my hip I may do a little more miles on the elliptical, but do my long runs outside whenever possible. I might add a speed workout.
Friday's run was amazing. I kept going faster and faster. I think I may have paid for it today. Next week is an easy week, which I found incredibly motivating: the long run is 9 miles (a total of 26-- clearly a mental state). Then the miles really start being piled on: 36 miles. But, I'm needing the mental toughness.
I listened to a lecture on the long run for the first time today! It was good. I'm not sure it helped my speed, but it passed the time! I think I'm going to get some mp3 books for my long runs. I also went to the Y and got into the whirlpool after the run, I think that will help with soreness. I also drank some chocolate milk after the run-- I think twelve miles is a long enough run to deserve it without being ridiculous.
