I've survived the soreness of my first soccer game of the season and am very proud that the immobility of my legs and torso didn't keep me from running. As I mentioned earlier, I struggled through a crap 2-miler yesterday morning, but was much better this morning. I did my standard 5K route and held my own. The pace was about 8:15s but full body pain and a really slow pace yesterday made it feel harder.
I have decided that I cannot continue with the short runs if I intend to run my marathon this year...oh wait, I may not have ever mentioned that this was my goal. Yes, my plan is to run a marathon with my baby sister this fall and thus I need longer than 3.1 miles a morning and 5 mile weekend runs. In the short-term I am going to try to gradually move toward 4-5 mile weekly runs (though if it is a choice between doing 3 miles and not running, I'll still do the 5K) and 6-8 miles on the weekends.
