Running Chick

Oh, what can I say about today's eight-miler. It wasn't the best run I've ever had, that's for sure. I took off too soon after eating breakfast so my oatmeal and granola bar felt like a giant brick rolling around in my stomach. I slipped on some ice around a quarter mile from my house and came down hard on my left knee. It throbbed the entire run. But ultimately, my head wasn't in the game and I just couldn't get into my zone. I had to stop a couple of times just to mentally regroup and convince myself that I could continue. Well, anyway, I made it through, came home and took a two hour nap. Totals for the week: 18.09 miles @ 10:31 Next week is a cut-back week, 14 total miles with a long run of six.
