I just set out to run a 10k practice easy run distance I laid out but I felt so good I kept running a little further. I had my HRM set to show HR only, no time , as I just wanted to run nice and easy without putting on time constaints on myself (I would had ran faster had I known the time).
I finally ended up back at home in the 85 degree, high humidity heat and stopped my watch. I ran for one hour and 15 mins NON stop. Went and measured course- it ended up being 6.7 miles which equates to a slow but easy 11mm. For the first time, I experienced the runners high or either that I was just low on blood sugar  .
I really felt good and could had ran further. But my goal right now is to just run to build endurance and mileage.
This was my first 20+ week. Ran a total of 24 miles and my body didn't rebel. I feel fine. So- slow and easy it is for the long runs for me. Will do tempo/pace running on my 3-4 milers.

Nah, low blood sugar is not a good feeling...at all. You definitely got the runner's high, baby! WTG! I predict that you'll be looking back in 6 months and an hour run will be a mid-length or maybe even short run for you. |
