Am I really in week 7?

Is this really week 7 already?  Wow!  Time sure flies.

Last week was just about a total bust.  I only ran once, on Tuesday, and then I got hit with an allergy attack.  I just felt off the rest of the week; off enough that I didn't do much of anything!  I didn't run again until Monday this week.

My run on Monday, by the way, really sucked!  My legs hurt, my feet hurt, my left hip hurt.  I ran about the same distance and speed as normal, but it was really uncomfortable.  In comparison, today's run ROCKED!  I bought new shoes over the weekend and wore them tonight.  I should have worn them on Monday (that was a big contributor to the quality of that run). 

My distance run this week...gulp...is 8 miles.  I'm a little nervous about that.  I've never run that far before.  But my nervousness aside, I WILL do that run.  I'm not trying to beat any speed records, just go the distance.  I think I know what route I'm going to run.  I think I'll go back to the park I did my last long run at, and travel on the equestrian trail instead of the hike/bike trail.  I've been on that trail before, and it's a nice run.  I'll carry my phone so I'll try to get some good pictures for y'all.

Good night.  I'll let you know how my run goes on Saturday.

Mmmm...Finally cooked!

Good dinner tonight!

All the ingredients I used were either completely fresh or minimally processed.  Yummy!

And the best part?  I'm the only one I cooked for tonight, so I have...LEFTOVERS!
