Do I look like I just ran 16 miles?!?!

Wanna know the secret to not looking like a sweaty pig after a long run? Run very very sloooooww! LOL This was my first long run of the season. It's the farthest run I have done since my first marathon back in February! I kept the pace pretty slow, even walked quite a bit.

There were a few times I wanted to quite because my pace was soo slow. Doesn't this little guy on your Garmin discourage you at times? Who in the hell is he to tell me I am behind? Then I realized I need to get use to running long distances again. So who care's if my time is slow. Sometime in September is when I will pick up the pace in my long runs.

Nothing impressive as for times, I'm just glad I got it done!

  1. 16 miles is impressive no matter how fast you do it! That is awesome. Plus I'm not nearly as sore when I slow down a little. Way to go!

  3. You are supposed to run slow on long runs! I wished I looked that good when I finished a long run- fast or slow, I look like death!

    Your comment on my blog made me laugh- I totally run to get away from my kids, too! :) Love them as I do.
