4 miles / 56 min / 4.5mph
Awesome. I feel great. And so proud.
I woke up feeling quite hungry this morning and was concerned about not having enough energy so I munched on a sweet/salty granola bar which I find one of the best foods and earth and natuarally, as all food this great should do, it lifted my spirits. I managed a powerful first mile and took a quick stretch and drink. The next few miles dragged on time-wise but my body seemed to move gracefully at each step. It was much easier to become distracted from the time to watch something entertaining on the tele — today, I flipped between something on the Discovery Channel about manmade chicken farming, the construction of a new tunnel in New York and Sylvia Brown was on Montel. I took another break at 3 miles — just as I almost talked myself out of it — to make a quick call in to work.
Nonetheless, I ran 4 miles. That is 1/3 closer to my goal.
Tomorrow is another short day (when did 3 miles become short?), then rest on Friday and the big 5 miler on Saturday. I am stoked.
