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.

    ByTim Nolte
    After a couple of weeks of tough interval runs I finally nailed one pretty well. I think my take away is that when it comes to training, as with much in life, you are going to have hard days that you can barely get through. Those are the days you have to have in order…
