jianantonicI ran 8 miles this morning. I wouldn't say it felt awesome, because it didn't, but it felt doable. And I felt awesome when I was done. Next week I do 9 miles. I'm less scared of these long runs than I was when I first started the training program. Still scared of the actual race, but deep down I do know that it'll be fine.
I wore my new shoes and compression socks for the first time today. The compression socks are AMAZING. I've worn compression pants before, but they weren't nearly as effective as the socks. My calves never bothered me on this run at all, and they usually start barking at me in the first mile of every run, so good deal. I'll be buying some more of those for sure. But I won't go nuts, because they are ridiculously expensive. $35/pair is the cheapest I've seen them. For a sport that doesn't require any specific equipment, running costs a lot of money.
