Finally Ran my 5 miler... . Which I haven't done since high school.... 10 years ago... Whew!! I should be cooling down but instead I'm typing this thinking I should cool down.... I usually run at nights which is a big no no seeing that I have trouble sleeping after waking up my body..... I feel as though I can run more but need to map one out.....
Have any of you ever heard the story of the princess and the pea.... One teeny tiny something in my shoe and my last two miles that is all I am thinking about...... Don't want to stop and ruin my flow..... Then I think, my shirt is soaking wet with sweat (kudos to the one who invented Dri-Fit, just need to expand my wardrobe I guess)
I figured out on other runs a way not to think of the mileage or time is by following along and sing in my head my ipod songs... makes time just fly by..... Also looking at the ground and concentrating on the songs seems to pass time as well verses staring at people, things or distances??? Don't know why....
My cross country team is finally growing... I'm up to 6 girls 3 returning from last years Varsity and 3 newbies.... pretty sad considering I should have at least 15 by now...... I guess you can say its not the quantity but quality?? or maybe you can't say that since we are all trying to increase our mileage???
Anyways just had to vent... Finally going to a running store to buy "real" running shoes verses "pink ones" this weekend.... Hope all is having a great running week....

you're so funny Lori! I know that some of the ironman athletes say they count steps at the end as distraction. Like count one hundred on the right and then one hundred on the left and if they miss one then they start over. Great job on the 5er- you've come so far Daniel son! Tomorrow I will show you paint the fence!-LJ
Next week, I bet you will have 25 girls and won't know what to do with all of them! It will be awesome!
