I just completed 6 miles and I can honestly say that this is the worst pain I've had thus far. EVERYTHING hurts. My arms are killing me from my strength training yesterday. My shoulder is flared up and feels like it's on fire. My back is killing me. My abs are extremely sore. My legs are really hurting and I have blisters on both feet. It hurts to even move at this point, and I am so very glad that I do not run for the next 2 days.
The run itself was strenuous. I did fine up until the start of mile 5, then I started getting really tired. I did not stop or walk though, I ran the entire thing. I finished in 1 hour and 41 minutes.
It's all getting more real now. I am physically exhausted from today's run, and I just completed HALF of what the actual half-marathon will be. This is a little scary to me, but I still have 7 more weeks to train. I'm technically right on track, but it's going to be a grueling last few weeks.
