Shred + longest training run so far

Today was great, as far as training goes! (And eating.)

Woke up late (worked till 12:30 last night; went to bed at 2 - whoops) but shredded with Jillian before 1 p.m. It was excellent.

Ran a bunch of errands today, did some cleaning (although there's lots more that needs to be done) and then around 7:45 went for an hour-long run! This is the longest run I've done since I started training for the Chicago Marathon (my farthest run in history was 13.1 miles in the Madison Half Marathon last spring).

It felt great. I'm glad I waited till later in the evening. The heat wasn't bad, although I was a sweaty mess by the end.

I kept a slow pace and didn't walk at all. Did a neighborhood route and tried to stay on gravel as much as possible. Unfortunately, my left knee and left shin were not feeling the best during the run. I'm icing the shins a little. I really think I need good orthotics, which are expensive and P is very unlikely to support. Ugh. We'll see.

Stats:
1:00:02, 5.89 miles (although I think it was closer to 6), 635 calories, average 10:12 pace

Food:
-Strawberries, kiwi, half apple, ground flax, fat free vanilla yogurt
-Ants on a log
-1/2 turkey wrap w/ veggie dip, spinach, cucumber, red onion
-3 strawberry licorice bites
-Egg noodles w/ nasty cottage cheese/onion sauce
-3 squares dark chocolate

Tomorrow's goal: Bike 30 minutes and shred before work.

Side note: I've been listening to "positive, encouraging K-Love" on the radio and it really is just that! I've never been a devoted fan of Christian radio music, but it really is encouraging and I always try to sing along even though I don't know the words.
