The alarm went off today and I did not want to get up! It was soooo dark this morning. I guess I had gotten used to the light from the full moon last week. I put some pain cream on my knees and shin before my run. Wow! What a difference that made. I didn't feel any pain in my knees at all today. It was a great run. I felt good the entire time and I even went out with my girlfriends last night!. We had and wonderful dinner and great conversation. As you can imagine, three hours and three glasses of wine later, I was a good 30 minutes passed my bedtime (and still had a 30 minute drive). It was wonderful, but I didn't get to bed until 11:00. I was home by 10:00, but for some reason I could not sleep. I thought for sure this morning's run would be a bit challenging, but it wasn't in the least. Leaha and I finished 5 miles in 48:50 (9:46 miles). I think actually keeping Monday as my rest day this week made all the difference.
278/463 (60%) miles complete!
I had my best feeling "run" days during the times i went out and ruined my usual routine... my brother trained with me and he always said the same thing! running is all mental. :)
