long run

well i had my long 'run' yesterday. 6 grueling miles. the first 3 to 4 miles were actually pretty decent. even that stupid hill was "ok"... i turned around at mile 3 and slowly (errr quickly) lost steam / momentum / whatever the fuck i had... by mile 5 i could see where i had to turn and didnt know if i was going to make it.

but i did. it truly sucked, but i made it.

today was supposed to be my 'rest day', but since Rick and i are on the same schedule, i wanted to change it so we had our long runs on the same day (especially since i'm so slow and the long runs are going to take me freaking forever.)

so i went 4 miles today. it actually wasnt *horrible* - well except for the fact that i thought my hamstring was going to snap in half..

i also need to consume more calories... i burned 1,338 yesterday and pretty much that's all i consumed all day... myfoodplate or whatever said i had to eat about 3,000 more calories ... that is after i ate quite a bit for lunch (stuffed french toast, muffin - few bites, etc...). so today i burned 881 cals and went to get a smoothie and smoothie king was closed... gahhhh!

so i'm off tomorrow - supposed to be a strength training day, but 13 miles in 3 days is enough for these old legs.
