Another Week Done

Hey Guys: Here is my running report for the week. I actually hope to get some more in tomorrow but I have 20 miles as of this morning so we'll see! I started the week with a pretty good 6 mile run on the treadmill. I tried to go a little faster than my slow 10:00 min/mile pace. Then on Wednesday I was going to get up early and run but ended up getting woken up too many times that night with a sick Brinci so I decided to sleep in. I've been trying to potty train this week as well so I had to wait until Gage took a nap to get on the treadmill. I had to stop 2.5 miles into my run to use the potty and was really nervous that I wasn't going to be able to make it as long as I wanted but I kept pushing on and lo and behold I did it!! I finished my 9 miles. It felt really good. Then that night I was watching a sad movie so I decided to walk on the treadmill through it so that I wouldn't cry as hard (I don't think that tactic worked) and ended up walking 5 more miles! I finished this morning with a 5 mile run at a 9:22 pace. I felt really good through the whole thing. So that being said, next week is going to be horrid. That seems to be how this running thing works. You do well one day, not so good the next. I liked how Jonathan said he is listening to his body. That's what we all need to do and just brush the bad runs off and keep going forward! Thank you all for your encouragement and great comments on here! I love to see what you all have been up to. Happy Running!!
