I made a goal today to run 6 miles. I normally run only 2 miles as my hips start to hurt a bit after 2 miles but I wanted to test myself in a more grueling distance and see how I would faire. It may also have something to do with a documentary film I saw recently called ‘Running the Sahara’. Three guys ran an average of 40 miles per day for 111 days straight to cross the Sahara desert. Truly beyond my understanding of what the human body is capable of. I learned a lot from it and I highly recommend checking it out. Seeing the kind of punishment these guys were putting up with I knew I could increase my own mileage and see what happens. It definitely hurt, but I did it. I have a feeling I will be paying the price in the morning.
