"Long" run

So I went for a longer run today (3.16 miles)!  Ok, so I know it's not that long, but for me, that's huge right now.  At first, I knew I that I wasn't going to make it very far because I'm still feeling crappy from yesterday and I was just feeling really heavy.  The more I ran, the l more I started to stretch out, and the more I decided to make it "just to that next post".  I ran all but 1/4 mile (up a VERY steep hill, and I did intervals to keep me going).


Normally at the top of this hill (I call it the butt lifter), I usually stop for coffee at my local Starbucks, and then walk home.  I tell myself it's my cool down, but I think we all know I've just decided to be done, and my coffee if quite important to me.  Not today!  I ran right past my coffee, and kept on going.  By the time I hit the top of the hill, I hit that point where I felt like I could just keep running forever.  I haven't had that feeling in a Loooooong time.  Talk about motivation to keep going.  Unfortunately, about a block before I hit home, my bladder decided I would not do another lap :(  Oh well, better to not push too hard.


Well, not much else for today...  I did decide after reading a blog yesterday that I need to try compression socks.


That is all.
