Day 130 - Long distance run of 9.15 miles

The run went very well.

Per NB's advice, I had been working out atleast 3 times a week. Maye that was the reason it was fairly easy. I have been trying to increase my speed over shorter distances throughout the week. Am trying to get used to the 4.5m/h-4.7 m/h speed so that can run at that speed for longer distances.

Ran the first approx 6 miles at 4.2 m/h. Hopefully in a couple of months will be able to run at 4.4m/h for longer distances, and some months later at a little faster pace...For the first time, running the marathon really, really seemed feasible. Comparing to older times when I couldnt run for long on 4.2 m/h or 4m/h for that matter, I am hoping that if I get this comfortable with a higher speed, it may be highly possible that I will be able to run the 26.2 miles....

At the end of the run was so hungry....it was kinda funny, I couldnt run the last mile bcos I was soooo hungry :), I had to walk....Did not get a headache for the first time after the long run. Reason may be the BIG breakfast NB served me as soon as we reached her home. I also made sure I drank lottttts of water.

All in all, a nice run - I really hope that the future long runs are as good or better..
