August 1, Wednesday

I ended up taking yesterday off due to my knee giving me some trouble on Monday and it wasn't feeling very good on Tuesday either!  Hoping that the rest will do me good.  I'm really trying to listen to what my body is telling me but it is hard when you have a looming deadline that you want to reach.  How hard do I listen?  Am I babying myself, being a wimp?  Am I pushing too hard?  Should I worry about my pace slowing down?  The questions that swarm my brain are endless and what are the correct answers?  I just have to go with my gut and try not to be reckless, I guess.

Today I ran 8.75 miles (I took the old route instead of the new bridge over the Rose inlet that I have been running most of the time.  You take the Rose Creek Trail by the MB little league fields, west on Grand to Olney back to PB Dr.) in 1:19:23 for a pace of 9:04/mile which is a little quicker than earlier this week.

An amazing July that broke all my records!  215.47 MILES!!!! That is an average of 6.95 miles per day & if you take out the 6 days off I took, I averaged 8.62 miles per running day!  Couldn't do it without all of you!!!!

I have a little movie to show you today that I like.  It has some great quotes geared to living a happy & fulfilled life.  Hope you like it too!

Love to my bringers of life and to all of my faithful supporters!  <3
