oh it's what you do to me

I found it. What? The mile marker? The answer I already knew? What?

Went for a longer than usual run after work Friday. Didn't really have a goal, but I wanted to do a long run of about 7-8 miles. My thighs were still sore from Thursday's run. I wanted to get on the path and go for as long as I could without getting too tired. It was sunny and warm, lots of people out on the beaches. Usually the biggest obstacle in getting-in a good run is just getting out the door and getting one foot in front of the other.

I find motivation anywhere I can get it. Yesterday my motivation was a guy wearing running shorts w/ pink stripes. A couple of weeks ago my motivation was barbecue-flavored potato chips. It's all about the small things. The small things like the rabbit by the zoo, the friend who reaffirms, mile-marker 5; and especially that song that carried me through that last 3/4 of that last mile.

Friday stats: 8.7 mi; 1:22

Saturday was rest day, thank goodness, my legs are still sore, oh oh.

Sunday morning is the final 10-miler before race day.
