My legs felt so much better when I woke up today. I decided today would be my long run for me.  Just in case tomorrow I can't do it. (But I will try) 

I ran the whole 5 miles without stopping in 51 minutes.  I felt really good just tired.  Today I kept thinkng about Sarah running pregnant, and this book I read on hitler. These people ran all day and night and if they stopped they would get shot because it meant they were weak. Some of them ran right to there deaths and some were put in camps. So I kept thinking if they can do run to live then I can run to get stronger.

I worked my abs and then I did weights for the reast of my gym time. 

I will do 30 minutes on my bike some time today I am sure.

Note that you got a 5 K and a 4 mile PR in the middle of that run.

I have no idea how you keep track of that kind of stuff. Its hard enough for me to remember my own.

Is there anything I should change in what I am doing?
