Accomplishments

Last night I did a 4 mile run in 44' 18". I felt pretty great the whole time and didn't have to do any of my gross, loud, pacing breathing. I use that type of breathing a lot when I'm really pushing myself and need to keep getting enough air. But not last night! I could run with my mouth closed even part of the time. A year ago, I'm pretty sure I couldn't have felt that good for a 4 mile run, but I am truly grateful I can enjoy it now. I love to be outside on a beautiful day and just enjoy God's creation and spend some time talking with Him. It's a great outlet after a long day at work. I pray that I will continue to be healthy and strong and enjoy running for many years to come. So not only was my run in 44 minutes an accomplishment, I also walked for 2.5 miles bringing my grand total for the day to... 6.5 miles. Woohoo! Half marathon here I come.
