Yesterday I had to do a 11 mile run (according to my 1/2 mile training routine by Hal Higdon). There were a few reasons why I didn’t make it outside and ran on my treadmill! It was a long hard run! The good thing about doing a long run at home was that I got to stop to use the restroom in my own, not a public restroom, got a drink when I wanted (didn’t need to wait for a fountain to appear or carry water with me) & got to watch Prison Break. However, I am really done with the treadmill. This body needs to get outside & feel the pavement. I was really pushing the 11 miles today. It was a slow/hard run! Part of it was also that my rear & legs are sore from my tabata bootcamp. The good new muscle building sore, but sore none the less! I have 1 more long run (12) to do before the 1/2 marathon in Springfield in 2 weeks & I need to get outside! Hoping for the weather to break & really turn into spring already!
PROVEN- 11 miles on my treadmill!
I really needed these compression socks after that run. I was told that it’s ok to wear compression sleeves for a run, but the socks are needed for recovery. Here they are!

Now, for a new giveaway….
I was so excited when Ilona from strongconfidentYOU on etsy asked me what I would like to have put on a burn out tank. Of course, I knew exactly what I wanted!
Running Through Headtrash
I love it, as I often have headtrash that I just need to run through. She has a lot to choose from or can make a custom tank, as she did for me.
Ilona has so generously offered a tank like this for one of you. Check out her etsy site to see all of her adorable tops. I’m going to do this giveaway using Giveaway Tools!
Click on the link on the right side of this page to see the giveaway. I’ve never used this before, so I’m hoping it works & you all can see it!
DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE QUEST BAR GIVEAWAY STILL GOING ON! I had one throughout my run to help me get through the 11 miles. They’re really tasty.
