My friend called and had to cancel our track run today, so I'm on my own again today. I'm going to try the 2 a day running today and see if it works for me. It seems to work for many others on this blog.

Two miles on the treadmill right before lunch. It felt good at 11:00 pace. The last half mile, I worked it up to 10:00 because I kept wanting more!! I'll try and get 2-3 more miles tonight.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Three more miles on the treadmill watching the last of Cast Away. Not exactly a romantic movie for Valentines, but I had a great man to hold me as I cried. :o) Such a touching movie!

So, I don't know if I like the 2-a-day. It's easier to get the runs done, but it makes you sweaty twice. So, do you shower twice? Hmmm.

Good job with the 2 runs. I don't think I would personally like that route because of having to take 2 showers and get ready twice each day - I struggle to get myself ready once a day as is. But, like Brent said, whatever works to get the miles in. You are doing a wonderful job - keep it up!
