It's going to sound crazy, and I have spent some time analysing myself, but I actually felt bad about my running after Sunday's 10k.
What it boils down to is that I pushed myself (hence the PB), so the running felt difficult (it was!), leaving me feeling bad because I took a few walk breaks, legs felt shoddy in the final few kms etc etc. It was a weird juxtaposition because I felt awesome about the PB but bad about the actual running. Anyway, today I thought I'd just run and see where it took me. I set out aiming to run for around 4 miles/40 minutes and ended up doing an extra mile. Although it was warm and muggy (I was sweating like a pig by the end), the actual running felt good. I know that for the marathon, endurance is going to be key and speed matters not (except that bit of my brain that currently tells me that if I push a bit I'll get there sooner - must work on that). I'm aiming for strong, longer runs (with some tempo work for variety). Faith restored. Yoga done. Gratitude felt.
