I'm going to be honest, I haven't been running these long runs nearly as slow as I should have been doing them. So today I tried real hard to keep the pace slow... But I love going fast!!
Running slow can be a real challenge for me but today's run rocked. Dare I say...it was easy! Targeted doing 20 and nailed it. The weather was beautiful. I mapped out a quality course beforehand that included some good variation of terrain and scenery which kept me occupied for the nearly three hour run.
Not a whole lot happened between the ears during the run. I'm not exactly sure what I thought about--I think there was a lot of not thinking going on--just a lot of free your mind, Jackie time.
Man, what a rush! Also, I sported this sweet new sweaty band that my mom
surprised me with this weekend. I've never been successful with headbands. The Goody ones always slip off my little head, despite the grip, and I love Goody products otherwise!
This thing was sweet!! It stayed in place. Didn't give me a headache or irritate me. Basically didn't know it was there until the wind picked up and hair wasn't flying in my eyes. Recommend!
Well--had my delicious steak (sorry veggie friends) and am looking forward to relaxing. I love that a good run makes for a great day!
