Do As I Say, Not As I Do

For some reason, after running a total of 19 miles during the week I thought it would be a good idea to go for a 14 mile long run yesterday. I was just so excited to run with my bestest MA running buddy along the Charles River. It was such a beautiful run!

She had a workout 2x 4 miles at marathon pace sandwiched between some easy running, and we ended up averaging 7:16 pace.

I was pretty dead by the end and will not be running a long run that far after a few weeks off ever again. Please do as I say and not as I do – it is best to ease back into long runs after taking a running break!
When in doubt, scramble eggs with a bunch of veggies, top it with mounds of salsa and hot sauce and call it lunch. This really hit the spot!

Yesterday’s post-long run nap took place on a pool floaty with my favorite pups!

After a not-long-enough nap Henri and I were off to play golf with my sister and her boyfriend. I was by far the worst one there which is never fun, but I survived and I will definitely go again! (After taking a lesson of course!)

The long run and golf outing had me so tired that I fell asleep about 45 mins into American Hustle which is a movie I’ve been wanting to see forever. I guess I’ll just have to make Henri watch it again tonight! 😉
Hope you’re having a great weekend and that your Sunday is fun and restful!

How was your long run this weekend?
Do you like golf? Do you have any helpful tips for me?? Cause I stink! Lol
