Personal:

Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.  Wash your spirit clean. --John Muir

 

I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:

Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better."

1:47, a full minute slower average pace than my 8 miler on Friday, but I was trying to keep it slower, so good for me!  I didn't run yesterday because I wanted to give more of my time to my boyfriend.  We did a nice 20 mile bike ride.

Was TIRED when the alarm went off at 5am and DID NOT want to get out of bed.  5:09 I dragged myself out of bed.  When I started my run, I felt TIRED and sluggish.  Considered cutting the run short after a mile or so but knew it would mess with my day if I didn't get in a good run.  So I sucked it up and got in my 8 miles.  Felt fine by mile 5 anyway.  So glad I did it!!!!

Ran with a new person this morning.  Ten miles is farther than he's used to doing; in fact, it's double.  But he was up for it, and he kept my pace.  For me it was perfect.  I hope he wants to do it again.  We finished in about 1:40, a little slow, but it was nice.

Did my first hilly run in the new neighborhood.  There's a big hill that's a mile up and a mile down, and I ran it out and back.  Kept a pretty normal pace on it too.  Felt fine and explored a little finding some trails that I'll check out next time.  8 miles in 1:15
