9 miles in 1 hour 37 mins. I'm pretty proud of myself! The last mile was hard, but I was able to push myself. There are a lot of runners out on the path, I'm guessing it is always like that on a Saturday. I have to swallow my ego a bit and be sure to keep my pace. There are runners that pass me and I have energy to try to keep up with them, but if I push myself out of my pace, I will make the run that much harder. So, I just remind myself that I have a long ways to go and just let them go by.
My body feels pretty good. I'm aware of my ankle, but it doesn't hurt. My knees start to ache a bit, but it comes and goes. I also need to beware of chaffing, not a pleasant topic, but even a less pleasant problem. I've heard of things to do to help that. Looks like I need to head to Dick's Sporting Good to grab some runners gear.
Until next run.
