6 miles bitches!

So today was one of those days as I was driving home from work that I was trying to convince myself that I wanted to work out.  I just wanted to go home and sit on the couch for the night, but decided that I needed to run, and have a good run.  If I am going to do a 10k in a month, then I needed to start running longer.  

The gym was pretty empty which was nice for a change.  I decided that I was going to go for 6 miles.  I wanted to see if I could do it.  I walked for 3 minutes as a warm up, then started my run.  I paced myself at a 6.2 and just decided to keep running as long as I possibly could.  After about 2 miles, I had to break through the mental thought to just walk for a minute.  I made it through to the 5k mark, and just started to take it 1 mile at a time.  I feel like saying 3 more miles sounds better than 30 minutes.  The other tough time was at the 5 mile mark, but I've run 5 miles before, so I wanted to see if I could make the 6 miles.  And I did it :)

Total stats:  63 minutes, 6.25 miles, 865 calories

On my way home, my mother called me to walk, so I added about a 2 mile walk to the end.  PB and J for dinner now...
