And isn't this always what you would expect to see on a Houston neighborhood run? Totally normal....not!
Caught a train at mile 14. Forced stretch break. I was okay with it.
A note on audiobooks: Life saving! Lately, I have been getting bored on my long runs and a bored mind tends to focus on how long it's been running. I've been dropping hints to my husband that I need a running buddy if only for a couple miles along the way. He either isn't picking up on my hints or is ignoring me because he has no desire to wake up as early as I do on weekends (either way, smart on his part). So, this week I figured out how to download an audiobook on my phone. I cannot tell you what a difference it made! I didn't have to think at all for 17 miles. I just focused on the story and the miles passed without my noticing. Well, until mile 14. Those last three didn't pass quite as easily. Still, the audiobook was a game changer for me for sure.
Lastly, I didn't have a chance for Ramen after my run. But this almost made up for it. I love eating after long runs. As in LOVE.
