The Long Run: Time to Think

Thinking! So what else are you going to do during a two hour run? Today no music, just me out there running, alone with my thoughts. This has been a difficult week. I had an anxiety attack the other night, and have not slept well. The long run allows you the time to think things over, and hopefully work through your issues. Oh, and while you're at it, you are running as well.

The run allowed me to think things which led to the anxiety attack. I didn't resolve anything, but the run gave me the chance to put things in perspective, and how I can handle what is going on.

When I wasn't obsessing about the woe is me part of life, I ran well. I felt good for most of the run. My pace was decent. I ran 7 miles today in 1:50. Not my best pace, but I was happy with it.

The heat did come through, and I realized I wasn't hydrated prior to the run like I should have been. I hit the NUUN bottle pretty heavy.

The week's long run is done. Now I can do a short run to wrap things up.
