So I guess I should get accustomed to being surprised on a weekly basis. Each week it seems like we go further than I thought I could. And each week I am really nervous going into it, and then I finish feeling like I could go even a little further than we did that week! Today we went 8 miles. 8 WHOLE miles. It kind of blows my mind a bit, but I did it!
At the recommendation of some friends who have run marathons, I decided to get a fancy contraption called a hydration belt. Mine is really fancy and holds 4 bottles. I was a little skeptical about having the thing around my waist while running, but let me tell you, I'm a believer now.
We ran from the Santa Monica Civic Center, down to the ocean, then all the way down the strand about a mile to Wilshire Blvd, then took the stairs up and over the PCH (anyone from LA can appreciate how cruel that is in the middle of a workout,) then another mile over on Ocean to San Vicente. Then we had a water stop, and ran up 2 miles on San Vicente to 22nd street. That was probably the toughest part- it was hot and slightly uphill, and I was really glad at that point that I had the hydration belt. Then we turned around at 22nd street and did the whole thing back to the civic center. I feel good, but I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow!
