Personal:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

I planned on 18 with Preston today. He wanted to run sub 7's and like just last week I figured I'd just hang in there until I was toast and then let him go. I did not prep well for the run, eating mexican food late last night and then only sleeping about 4-5 hours. Anyway, by mile 6 I was cramping up and at mile 7 my chicken fajita was threatening to exit in all directions. Lucky for me we hadn't strayed far from the neighborhood and I was close to home when I decided to call it quits. I'm not sure if I want to do another 10 later tonight to get in my "long" mileage for the day or just start over again in the morning... Next week's long workout will be a 21 mile day-hike through The Enchantments.
