After work, the weather was so nice that I had to get outside and run. My injuries are still around, but I fought through the pain to get a good workout. I dropped my car off at the Newton YMCA and partially ran with a charity group that was on their way to do hill drills at Heart Break Hill. I did about 6 drills on my own and they were tough. My heart felt like it was going to burst or crawl up my throat and puke out of my mouth. My weight lifting is paying off as I felt pretty strong and upright sprinting up the hills. When I finished, I started to head back to the Y, which was 2 miles away, instead, I ran in the wrong direction. Not sure if I was delirious, but I got disoriented and was blocks away from Rt 9, so I turned around to head in the right direction. I added up my mileage, I was supposed to do a 7 mile run, I ended up with 11. I hope my legs will not punish me tomorrow morning. Despite the injuries, my pain factor on a scale 1-10 (10 worst), I had about a 5. I only have 1 more month to go, I already feel spent. I'm glad I did the hills and long run, it will only have me be better prepared for the marathon.
I'm running the 114th Boston Marathon to help others reach their personal finish lines-get into college, graduate and to GO FAR in life! Be a part of the journey!
