7 miles complete :-)

Yesterday I ran my longest distance ever!!!! 7 miles!!!! It was not the easiest run but that is to be expected. I ran it very slow (I think) and I felt like I was going to die when I got finished.

How many people have trouble running when they get finished running? I do. I had an old man beat me up the stair to get water at the park. The park that I ran at yesterday has markers that mark every 1/2 mile. The distance is 2 1/2 miles one way. Yesterday I started at the beginning and ran one mile down and them one mile back, then I started on the 2 1/2 miles down and back for a grand total of 7. I think my time WAS 1.27.10? Not entirely sure because when I went to push save on my watch it said memory full and deleted my workout. I swear I have more problem operating a watch than anyone should ever have. I push stop when I should push split, I push reset when I should push stop. Who knows. I guess my brain is dead when I get finished running.

I started thinking about all the trouble (I believe that I like to over exaggerate my pain to myself, never felt a high amount before such as a bone break) I am having with my knee. It hurts so bad at different part of my run. I am not sure if it is a good hurt (WOW Your Using Your Legs) or (Ow your going to injure yourself)?
Perhaps I need different shoes?

I think I bought my shoes because they were pretty. I really like the blue color :) Anyways I keep reading about pains and what not and people usually point it back to the shoes. These are running shoes but perhaps they are not the perfect ones for me? I thought about going to a running store to get fitted for shoes. Knowing me and my clumsy self I probably run all crazy like, my stride that is.

This week is an easier week for my running. It is an EASY WEEK? All my runs are labeled Easy runs. I am to run 3 miles tomorrow and then 3 miles on Thursday/Friday (0ne of those days) and then 4 miles on Sunday :)

Here is to thinking 3 miles and 4 miles are easy. I know this time last year I would laugh at anyone who said running 3 or 4 miles was easy:)
