In any case, for this week's 10 miles, I did a few miles before our group run started and I took on the Key Biscayne bridge 5 times. I did bridge repeats over and over and didn't pass out and finished strong. They say incline work is great for strength and endurance and I have been doing this bridge for a year now. I used to be able to go over once. It obviously works because I was going back and forth like nobody's business. It made me feel really good! I finished a great 10 mile run, hung out with the amazing running ladies of Mommyathlon and off to my house I went.
When I got home, my husband asked me how long I went and my answer was "I only did 10 miles". Then I started laughing thinking at how marathon training warps a runner's way of thinking. I remember when 10 miles was a huge feat and all of a sudden, marathon training has me thinking it is a very short distance. Short enough to be preceded by the word "only". Pretty cool (and crazy)!
