Long story short, I completed my first 8 miles ever. EVER, you hear? This is the longest distance I have ever run in one trip. I ran out of places to run on, the sidewalks would end and I'd have to cross streets (which I hate like I hate Smallville) to get to other safer running surfaces. I ran out of water on mile 7, it wasn't too hot but I was ready to get home. The front of my soles hurt, but I didn't die. I came home and posted on my weight loss blog.
I started a little too fast but I'd only been running 2 mi e/time I'd go to the gym before class, I was itching to get a long run done. And I was outside! It was hot and breezy and sweaty and amazing. I don't know how I used to stay inside the apartment for so long before. Never again. I added Gatorade to my water (just 1/3c) and I really think it helped, I wasn't super thirsty or ready to die. It was a little sweet, but I'll take it.
