Back to Journal  « Getting Past Being Joe Blow Neopro | Marathon Training Week 8 of 26: Ten Miles! | Studios/Kartania/Wonderland 10 Year Celebration! » Marathon Training Week 8 of 26: Ten Miles! February 5, 2006 Here's the first major milestone of the training. Ten miles of interval running. My body hurts, particularly my back and the bottoms of my feet. This was the first run where my bodyaching threatened to stop me before my lung capacity did. But we did it. And we brought a friend. And then we had some bagels because it turns out our jaws had a little life in them yet. So ten miles today on the American Tobacco Trail, a very cool rails-to-trails project in Durham, which once was a train track used to ship tobacco and now put to better use, a good microcosm to represent how Durham was once considered the "tobacco capital" and now it's the "City of Medicine" (which you gotta admit is kind of overdoing it when it comes to apologizing for the sins of the past; wonder what the next tagline will be when they find out that medicine is bad for you...). Hopefully not too sore and beat to watch the Superbowl. I usually root for the underdog, but I've got a friend in Pittsburgh who is a major fan of the Steelers. She's had a couple shitstorms over the past year, so here's hoping she can put some chalk in the win column this afternoon. |
