This morning Favi and I ran ten miles. WOW. It was HARD. Mostly mentally. I am so bored with the training and so ready to be at the goal already. I never expected that.
We both know that the first three miles hurt, the next three are heaven, and the last three are were all the mental work come in. It was definitely true today, except, I think there was mental work the whole way. It was just a really hard run. I am so grateful that God sent me a running buddy. I would never have made it this far. I am so close to the end. I am so ready!
I have been getting headaches, especially after these long runs. I am not sure if it is a nutrition or hydration thing, or something all together different. Oh, and I think I am going to lose my toenail, for the third time. Oh well. The casualtiess of running long distances, right! haha!
Well, off to drink more water and eat some more... I am so hungry all the time!

OH GIRL>. YOU NEED BIGGER SHOES!!!
you should NOT be loosing nails!
I went to Lukes Locker 2 years ago or so and got fitted by a marathon gal who said if you run distance.. depending on how far you need a full size or two full sizes bigger than what you normally wear :)
she said your feet swell the farther you go..
i had issues all kinds with my feet before that visit.... had been to the foot dr.. spent tons of money.. and still had issues.. after my new larger shoes... NO PROBLEMS! .. i was so happy.. but mad at the same time cause my Dr should have known to tell me "you need bigger shoes!"
(sorry please dont loose another piggie nail.. thats sounds so painful!)
Yay for 10 miles! I am so proud of you!
You definitely need to go to Luke's and get fitted for shoes. In my 7 months of training, I never had so much as a blistser.
Also, have you tried any recovery drinks? Anytime I ran over 1 hour, I drank Endurox... that stopped my headaches.
Keep going, you don't have that much further to go!
Yea! SOOO proud of you! :)
