Long treadmill runs and the not too distant future

As I keep chugging along this year aiming for consistency, I found myself at an impasse when I rolled out for a ho hum 5 miler around Providence and not even a mile in felt a burning pain on my left foot and had to call it quits on that run.  Per usual, the biggest fear was that well, that was the last run ever.  I need a back up plan when that actually happens.

But as soon as I got my foot back, I tested it out for 3 hours on a treadmill.  Seems normal right?  And for whatever reason, on long runs my mind is okay with monotony for 3 hours yet the daily 5 mile run takes forever.

nk5k13

Register by this Sunday, get 5 bucks off the NK5k on September 7th.  I'm in and hoping it's not balls hot like last year.  I do hope for clam chowder post-race.

How's my running going? On my long run today, I Heismann-ed a car.

Sunday

Note to self: do not get sunburnt all over, running will be a pain.  Everything is sore before you even run.

Update: if you go run or sweat, prepare to freak out as beads of sweat hang off you like a wax museum figure of yourself...sweating. It's like braille and your body is telling you to WEAR SUNSCREEN.
