Feelings

Well I’m still here. Running. It seems like that’s all I do these days. The mileage is growing and so is my appetite.   Last week (Wk 6) I ran 4, 2, 4, and 3 (as fast as I could). So far this week (Wk 7) I’ve ran 4.5, 3, 4.5, and then on Friday I’ll do 7. Geesh. Next week (Wk 8) I’ll run 4.5, 3, 4.5, and 8. Physically I feel good.

I’ve literally only done that one other time in my life. So, I’m feeling pretty intimated by it. But I KNOW I can do it. That’s insane to think that 6 miles isn’t even half the race. Right now, 6 miles feels li
