Not that anyone should care, but I had an excellent run this evening. I was really apathetic about running, but I’m training for a half marathon, so I forced myself out the door. You can tell I picked up steam along the way:
Mile 1 – 10:17
Mile 2 – 9:39
Mile 3 – 9:29
Mile 4 – 9:06
Mile 5 – 8:29 (Only .68 miles, but at an 8:29/mile pace).
At this point, I have to be careful about overdoing it — you get to where you feel good, and you run more than your body is really ready for, then you get hurt and you’re out of commission for awhile.
At the moment, I’m pretty much on track with the training. I ran 20 miles last week, including a 7 mile run on Saturday. This week calls for 22 miles with 8 of them coming on Saturday.
Since no one else has said it, I’ll say it:
I Care.
Thanks!
With that kind of empathy, you could be President some day.
