2 days 2 runs

I did it. I ran Staurday and Sunday for a total of 8 miles. It felt good to be back on the open road. I had new tunes and that helped to make each run a bit easier. I have found that the first mile or two are always the most difficult. There is a point that I reach where I am able to just keep moving forward without really realizing it. My mind begins to wander and I just have some time to think.

I know for certain that it is this "time to think" that gets me out for a run each time. I can't say that the excercise part is truthfully the motivating factor. I hope to become healthier as a product of this marathon endeavor, but that is not the reason that I get out and accomplish each run. It is the personal challenge. It is doing something I have never done before every single weekend as I add a mile to my long runs.


So, I am glad to be back to running. No excuses. Find the time. Just do it. I have two more runs scheduled this week and a long run (6miles) this weekend. (my longest to date has been only 5 miles) I will be in the DC area this weekend and I am looking forward to my longest run yet in a new location with new scenery. Just look at all the places my Nikes are taking me...thanks to my family and friends for following me.
