In a good way, definitely. For having not run since my friend Cat was home in August, I'd say finishing that race on Sunday was damn near miraculous. I totally didn't do as great as I could have if I'd focused and trained like I know I should have, but a finish time of 2:53:48 is decent all things considered. I'm psyched for my next one. I'm DEFINITELY not going in cold again. I don't know who I thought I was fooling convincing myself it'd be okay to run 13.1 miles out the gate without any warm-up runs beforehand, but I made it through and that's what ultimately is important.
I'm super sore today and probably will be for a few more days. My eating is back on target - though, let's face it, I totally took advantage of the burned calories on Sunday to splurge a little. I feel good about everything I ate. And today I feel really okay with getting back into healthier routine. I went to Sports Authority yesterday to return a top I'd bought for the run that I didn't end up wearing & ended up finding a ton of stuff I want. It's my only way to spoil myself. At least it's money spent in the name of health, right? :) I think it's a good thing.
I'm totally relying on my yoga practice to get my fluidity back. I feel a little like the tin man. But it's a new week, half marathon #7 completed, and am down 5.4 pounds since my last weigh-in so I'm really feeling good! YAY!
