36ks covers a lot of territory.
It was a big day. I'm still feeling it now.
The suburbs:
Ascot
Clayfield
Cannon Hill
Eagle Farm
East Brisbane
Hamilton
Hendra
Kangaroo Point
Morningside
Murrarie
New Farm
Newstead
Nundah
The bridges:
Gateway bridge (my first time running this)
When I got home I sat down not very gracefully on the steps and cried. Well, kind of. There were no tears, but I was emotional. I hunched over and put my head in my hands. My vocal chords vibrated and and my body shook.
I don't know quite what it was, but I expect it was partly the fact I'd never run that far in a training run before and it was really hard, and partly the realisation that I have two more even longer runs to get through before December.
This kind of has to become normal and right now it feels nothing but.
I don't know where this leaves my aspirations of becoming an endurance runner.
I'll tell you in a couple of weeks.
Awseome effort AP!!! Keep your head up! :)
ReplyDeleteWhats another 14km's when you've got 36km's behind you!.... (actually it's a long way). Though yesterdays conditions were far from ideal so that is even more training in the bank. Stand tall. Be proud. Very. :)
How is the nutrition working out???
Thank you Anonymous. You are very kind and also very wise - 14ks is a long way and I don't think 36ks cuts it quite yet.
DeleteHow's the nutrition? Well, there's another blog post in that and won't be for the feint hearted....
