learned something about myself today. It takes me 2-3 miles to "settle down". You know how when you run at first you think "I can't do this. This is gonna suck. How can I possibly go 26.2 miles?" and then a while later your brain quiets? Well mine takes 2 or so miles to do it. By mile 3 or 4, I start feeling like I don't want to stop. Not necessarily an "I can go all day" feeling, but more like the bad thoughts go away and there's just peace and if I can just put my foot in front of the other one (which I can), I'll be fine. Achilles sleeve seems to be helping, but my shins are whining at me. Must find my calf compression sleeves. I feel like I'm being held together by paper clips and bubble gum. P.S. SPAGHETTI DOUGHNUTS!
