Did 9.74 miles today at a 11:56 pace. I tried to run slow, thinking I was going at a 13:00 pace, but I guess I was doing better than expected. The last mile was tough today. My muscles where burning. It may have been from my massage yesterday. My massage therapist, Michael Epstein, is the best. He not only gives me the be massages, but gives me tips about running posture, exercises and how to stretch. He was a little brutal with me yesterday, I guess it was a Sport Massage. But I feel good today!
So as I was running along today this tight bodied, young woman went sprinting by and gave me a look like "is that as fast as you can go?" Ugh! She went wizzing by me and all I could think of was how pathetic I must look. Then it hit me "45 and never run before", "45 and never run before", "45 and never run before"...I'll get over this...NOT! Well I finished my 9.74 miles and yes I did get over it, because one and a half years ago and 115 lbs heavier, I would have never thought of even walking a mile!
