Today I ran 5 miles!!!!  Over the last few weeks I’ve been a weeny, only running a mile or two.  I started out wanting to run 3 miles. I ran the first three miles around the neighborhood on the pavement.

Mentally I was really sharp today.  I knew I could keep going, I knew I could push myself today.  I knew I could run 5 miles.  It’s amazing how much of running is a mental game.

My feet couldn’t take two more miles on the pavement, so I ran the last two miles on the grassy soccer field.  That last half mile my legs felt a little like jelly.  But I DID IT!!!  It felt so awesome!
