Today I ran a part of the park trail that I have not really been on before. It is not hidden really just that everyone goes the other way so I followed them and never really thought about the other way. Well this morning I went the other way. It is pretty hilly and as such little used. Hills are rough for me, I just kill myself on them. Today was no different.
3 miles
Mile 1: 13:55
Mile 2: 13:50
Mile 3: 13:15
It was like torture for me but I did make it through it. Other point of reference, I always under estimate how I will feel the day after a long run. I was not capable of running on Sunday. I was torn up from my 9 miles on Saturday. So I took Sunday off completely. Monday, I did two martial arts workouts - one in the morning and one in the evening. Felt fine.
12 days until the Philly Distance Run ... tick tock, tick tock.

Great work! Good to hear you're listening to your body too - nine miles is a good workout, so you were right to take some time out. The cross-training on Monday sounds like a good idea too.
Hang in there!
Is this your first half? If so, believe me when I say it will all be worth it when you cross the finish line.
Thanks for the encouragement. The nine did do a number on me.
