One of the new girls asked me, "Does it ever get any easier?" I looked at her straight in the eye and said, "Nope," to which she replied, "I should have asked someone else..." Haha. I think it does get easier, but in a different way. We get faster (but so does everyone else, so it becomes hard to gauge progress) and better at tolerating pain, but it's still always painful.
Today's run workout was KILLER. As in, I killed my legs. Someone in the group wearing a Garmin said the total mileage was 8.5 miles, which is A LOT for a "track workout" ... especially when last week was much shorter at around 5-6 miles total.
Hoping the hard workout and eating healthfully today (on track - no excuses!) will combat the damage I did yesterday.
