Last week I ran the farthest I have ever ran in my entire life. 13.7 miles. It was hard, but I did it. For the first time I tried out energy goo and ran with a water bottle because the run took Jared and I two hours. I think it worked. I didn't feel out of breath or out of energy, it was more of a tired muscles and body and soreness all over. My legs were shaking when we stopped for water and so were Jareds. The difference was that I felt pain and he didn't. Somehow Jared can just run and run and not feel a thing. Or so it seems.
I was sore in my legs all day and then the next day I was sore in my lower back. My roommate tells me this is normal, that when you run long distances it uses more of your core and back. I'm wondering more and more why I decided to run this marathon. I'll let you know if I can think of a really good reason, but for now, I'll just keep running so I actually can make it the 26.2 miles without killing myself.
