When 8 Miles Feels Like A Marathon

ByTim Nolte

Today was another one of those days that I can see the results of the downward turn my health took this past year.

Just about a year ago I ran the Groundhog Marathon, the full 26.2 miles. Today I only ran 8 miles but it felt like I was trying to run a marathon. There was a time when I would have easily ran 10 miles in the time it took me to run 8 today, and I would have finished strong.

On the bright side, I was about ready to call it a day at about 4 miles, but I kept telling myself that I could get this run done, I’d done it before. So despite it being a hard one I guess it was a successful one.

These are all things I need to start doing. By God’s grace I haven’t got any injuries yet but if I keep pushing myself and don’t do the things I should I’m going to hurt myself and then I’ll be out for running altogether.

Attempting To Follow The Plan

ByTim Nolte
In an effort to actually take into consideration the things I read about running, and specifically training, I tried to slow things down today. I was still a bit faster than the training plan called for today but then it also felt like I was barely exerting myself, which is also kind of the point…
