Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Today's Run
What struck me today was how effortless these 'short' run days are getting. When I think about how a year ago I couldn't run more than 5 minutes at a stretch, and now I am running 4 miles and feeling like it was an easy run. I know it's taken a lot of hard work to get here, but now that I am here, at this stage, I am hungry for more.
I really want to get back out there and tackle those long runs again, I almost cannot wait for Sunday to come around again. Which tells me that my body and mental strength are really making major strides. That being said I was reminded that I do have to watch myself. I tweaked something yesterday running up the stairs at work, just an unusual soreness. Which I don't notice when I am just walking, but last night after I walked the dog it was a little sore so I iced it down and it has calmed down. But that's my little reminder to stick to my schedule and training plan and not push beyond it. The strength to go longer will come, I know that now, but strength must be built, and if you don't build it right it you can seriously wreck things.
