Sorry, I've neglected my blog.  :(  Today I felt great, I ran about 5 miles...almost without stopping.  It's a mystery to me why you can get that "runner's high" sometimes, but not always.  Runner's pain, runner's discouragement, runner's exhaustion...but not runner's high.  (I could go on and on about the negative things, but I'll spare you the list.)  But, I felt really good.

Yesterday I did about 4 miles (both of these days were on the treadmill).  I'm trying to figure out why treadmill running is easier for me.  Controlled conditions?  Treadmill taking some of the slack?  I don't know..maybe it's the lack of intimidation of distance.

The day before yesterday I went running with the hubby again.  I felt a bit discouraged.  Running seems to come naturally to him.  His long strides and body that isn't many pounds overweight probably helps.  Anyway, I let the discouragement get to me...and then I just let him go and tried to concentrate just on me and my little legs taking me as fast as I am able. 

Tomorrow will be my last day before taking a couple days off before the 10K on Sunday.
