So I have been doing my long runs the last couple of weeks. I was very stressed about it thinking it was an impossibility to run more than 2 hours straight especially since I hadnt done it before. My first long run was 3 hours and a half-28 kilometers or 16 miles-hard work. I ran into a few problems, my ipod was out of juice although I charged it and I started aching in places where I hadnt before. It was challenging but I kept running into people I knew so I took little breaks to talk to them. It was like taking a break for 2 minutes or 5 minutes every 7 kilometers or 4 miles which gave me enough of a break to keep going. It wasnt as hard as I thought.
My 4 hour run was more challenging-claro! I asked a friend of mine to bike with me...Nandi(from California)! She biked 16 miles of it with me...and I ran 19 miles or 33kilometers, only 3 miles alone. My friends Camila and Mette (danish )ran with me 8 miles of it with me or 14 kilometers and Will, another american friend of mine sang me a song for me with his guitar to encourage me at the end of 16 miles. Nandi even went to my house afterwards to cook me dinner so when I got home, I could eat right away. My knees, ankles and hips have been hurting for three days straight now. Im exhausted. I bought my flight for 330 euros...a bit expensive but worth every penny. I found a couchsurfing host for a week so I only have to pay for one night in a hostel. Im excited about that. Prague-here I come! Im so excited!
