disappointed

Today I got upset at myself.  I had planned to run 17 miles.  I gave up after 10.5.  It was hot, it was humid.  Basically I just fed myself a lot of excused, and when I got home I wanted to cry.  I should have pushed myself - my body felt fine.  It was all in my head.  (and partly the humidity).  I should still be happy I ran 10.5, but I just feel like I let myself down.  I am so disappointed at myself.  I needed to cheer myself up.

I went to my local running store, I wanted to look at new shoes.  I tried on the Brooks PureFlow 2s.  They fit so nice!  I bought them - in diva pink!  Love it.  I decided to take them onto the treadmill, I was going to get my 17 miles, even if I split it up into 2 runs.  I ran 6.5 on the treadmill, for a total of 17.1 for the day.  I feel a little bit better about my day, but I am still very angry at myself - hopefully this is a feeling I will remember and will not give up again!

My run this morning was going well, I was trying to stay nice and slow, around a 10:30min/mile pace.

I had a busy weekend of running - more than what I have done in the past, my 'week':

The 6.5 I did at the gym on the treadmill.

I started for a mile at 6.0, then upped it every mile 0.2, ending at 7.2.  I felt good.  It ended up being tough, but my legs felt great.  I was a touch under 60 minutes for the 6.5 miles.

Anyone ever split their long runs?  I feel that it is ok, not all the time, but just once in awhile.  Especially as I am training for multiple races over 4 days.
