so i went running today intending to do 10 miles but stopped at 7 because it was so hot outside. it's crazy how summer just shows up one day. you don't really get any warning.
but i was thinking about how hard it is to run long distances lately. i did 9 last monday and it was a huge accomplishment and i was really proud of myself. the farthest i've ever run was 3 years ago while training for a half marathon (13.1 miles); i did 14. it's weird though because, for 3 years, i haven't run that far. you'd think i'd come close, but really i've been sticking to 10k's (6.2) and every once in a while running more than that. hopefully i'll kick it up a few notches. to think that i was in better shape when i was 17 than when i'm 20 just doesn't feel right.
