"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing.

You have to make the mind run the body.

Never let thebody tell the mind what to do. The body will always giveup.

It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

A First Time For Everything

You could say that running and I have a love hate type of relationship. I love a good challenge, just like I love a good run. It's how I sort things out. It's how I maintain self-esteem. It's my therapy. There is no denying how great it feels when a goal is set, achieved, and celebrated.

2 week review-lots of miles!

So, I wasn't so good about posting my last two weeks, but the fact that they actually took place is what matters, right? I have upped my runs to 4 weekday, and a long one on Saturday. It's good. I feel good. I have started working a little bit on speed intervals, hard stuff. I know it will help me so it must be done. The last two weekend runs I have buddied up with a partner. I have never really ran and carried on a conversation before. I was hoping I could do it, and I did. It was so nice to chat with someone, rather than fighting with my head for the first few miles. It really made things go by faster. For my Saturday runs I did 9 miles two weeks ago, and about 7 this last week. I am trying to convince myself for 10 on Saturday. I am trying to target my weekly mileage around 22-26 miles. I got all signed up for the Pony Express 5K, should be fun! I'll do better about posting this next week. I promise!
