Notes

Another relatively good run today. Coach might say it was crazy to do this distance at this point and after the 13.1 I did two days ago. But I felt I wanted to run this distance. I did take it easy all the way around. I kept an even/steady pace. My breathing was very smooth even up steep hills which clearly indicates that I could have gone a lot fast but did not. I did an easy slow run (maybe even slower pace that two days ago). However, after the first 3 miles when body felt more loosen up and relaxed and I had confidence that I would manage O.K then I think I did a slightly faster/stronger pace. It was a harder run comparing to the one before. But the positive thing is that distance grew in me beautifully. Somehow my body tends to adjust so well to long distance (as glove and hand). I is so weird although I am still experiencing aches and pains on both legs (but not severe) I feel that the MARATHON DISTANCE is on my doorstep. I tend to go on and on without worries whatsoever each time I drift in my thoughts. I must have done approximately 5 miles without even realising where exactly I was and what distance I had covered. So, maybe this is the secret. Whatever way I LOVED THIS RUN WHICH IT WAS REALLY UNPLANNED. Today also being 26th July it is a significant day for me too. Straight after my shower I had a good Warm Down and stretching again + massaged both legs
