So I adjusted my schedule tonight, 3 miles instead of 4.5. This isn’t cheating because a 3 mile run was on the schedule for tomorrow and so I swapped for the sake of my mind and body this evening. I felt as if I wasn’t “in the zone.” I know I might not be able to do this on race day, but I can for now:) Seriously though I couldn’t handle the run tonight.

Tonight I need to get some sound sleep and tomorrow evening I’ll hit the pavement. I did have a hard run tonight and I felt especially strong at the finish. This is a good sign, who would have ever thought I’d be so amped about a run, certainly not me.

The other adjustment I’ve made is in my elimination or severe cutback in two favorite things: sweets and wine! I’m looking forward to a nice pinot grigio when the race is done, but until then I’m limiting myself. However once a week I’m allowing for a little indulgence in both, I mean a girl has got to live a little.

Things are going well this week, I think because I’m looking ahead, but not focused solely on the overall goal, but rather  embracing and celebrating each day. So I’ll keep running and you keep reading!
