Again I ran 8 and I was happy to notice, my leg didn't hurt after the first few steps.  Now that it is later in the day, it still isn't hurting so hopefully it will get better.   I am happy with my progress so far and will break my 8 mile barrier soon.

My leg wasn't hurting so I ran, and felt good the whole way.  I want to run faster and hopefully when I shed a few pounds I will.  I figure at least I am running and  that counts for something. I did my usual run again, a loop around my neighborhood and then out to the LaVerkin stake center and back.  I got my Garmin back so now I can switch up my running a little bit and know how far I am going.  I am looking forward to using it again and will sometime this week.

This is the farthest I have ever ran!!!!!  By 2 miles even.  I felt really good, but the last mile kinda killed me, but I kept going.  I am quite proud of that.  I got my Garmin back and I am running about what I thought I was, I averaged around 10.5 and 11 minute miles.  That is slow, I know, but I hope to get faster and that will come eventually.  

My leg felt good.  No problems there, and that is good also.
