I hit the pavement this morning for my 10 mile run - armed with a new playlist titled "Katie's running tunes" - I'm so very clever, don't you think?
Before I headed out this morning, I asked my husband to "wish me luck". I was nervous, I've never posted double digit miles in one run. I envisioned myself crawling home...
I was wondering if the new mix of tunes would help pass the time, pass the miles...
I headed out nice and easy - longer runs are for endurance, shorter runs for speed. I was running at what I was estimating a 8:45 - 9 minute mile. Again, not going for speed here...
A short 1:32:12 and 10.2 miles later I was back at home (and honestly, could have gone for more!).
I have figured out two tricks...
1. Avoid the treadmill for long runs
2. Mix up the music - same old, same old just doesn't cut it
Have any suggestions for good running tunes? Let me know!!
