Another Milestone

Today I conquered three miles. Although "conquered" is a little misleading. I had a hard day running. I wasn't sure I was going to get one, let alone two, let alone three miles done. I've realized that Wednesdays are difficult days for me - running-wise. I'm still recovering from Monday's run and here I am pushing myself to do even more! It was probably the most shuffling and sloppy run of my life. It was by far the slowest too. Not only that but about half way through my toe started hurting. Turns out the nail of one toe was gouging another toe. I also have a big old blister. With all these wounds and the state of my aching muscles you'd think I just finished a marathon.

Good Run

Today was a good run. I think it had to do with the nice cool breeze and non-sweltering temperatures. It also could have been because I was coming off a two or three day hiatus and was well rested. If time hadn't been an issue, I think I could have run for quite a while. But, I had to get back home so my husband could get to work. Instead, I ran two miles. And two miles is becoming the norm for me. Time to push it to three! The difficulty with three though is finding the time to do it. I'll need at least a 45 minute time slot to accomplish it.
