Oh it was so hard to force myself to do my much needed long run today. It should have been done yesterday, but I was post call and slept until almost 5:30 in the evening. Needless to say, sleep was more important yesterday. Saturday, I only walked about 2 miles. I was on call for 24 hours and am pretty stuck having to be close to the hospital for a patient who walks in ready to deliver. I also hate sweating and needing another shower while on call.
So, today after dropping my kids off at school, I went home and forced myself to run. For me the hardest part of running is getting out the front door. Once I do that, I'm generally good to go. The first 1.8 miles consisted of talking with my sister and stopping at Chick-fil-a to go to the bathroom. Oh yeah. I also had to wait 2 minutes and 18 seconds at a red light. That is the reason my time is so slow for the first part. Oh well. It is what it is.
The rest of the run went really well. I did get a cramp in my foot around mile 9, but it went away....sort of. I'm thrilled it's done! I knew if I didn't do it, I would be mad at myself this evening. Then, my much needed long run would hang over my head all week. No, I feel nothing but success! Go me!
