I started the week with a 2 mile run on Sunday afternoon. I always run alone, but Brad joined me that day. He's going to do the marathon relay with some of his coworkers.
My second run was after work on Tuesday. I did 4 miles, and the weather was gorgeous! 63 degrees at 6:00pm on January 30th! I wore shorts, a tank, and a light jacket. I probably could have run without the jacket, because I got a little warm about halfway through.
I had another 2 mile run after work on Wednesday. It was another beautiful evening!
This morning (Saturday), I ran 8 miles! That was my longest run ever! I felt really good, and I only stopped for a few seconds around mile 5 to get a fresh piece of gum. I don't know if chewing gum while running is a good or bad habit, but I always chew gum while working out. I think I do it, because it keeps my mouth from getting dry. By about mile 7, my left hip started getting a little sore. This evening, it's still a little achy. I plan to get in the whirlpool during halftime of the Thunder game. Maybe the heat and circulating water will help it out.
12 weeks until the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon!
