First 10 mile run!

I have been steadily following my half marathon training plan on MapMyRun. Tuesday’s and Saturday’s I have shorter recovery runs. Thursday’s I have a medium interval/tempo run and Sunday’s are my long run. Since I began using Nike Run Club’s guided runs, in addition to Map my Run, I have dreamed of the day I could start (and finish) the 10 mile run. Yesterday was that day. My legs were tired and sore at the end but I finished strong with negative splits over the second 5 miles. My pace is not all that fast but I am over the moon that I ran the distance. 🎉🥳
