The new training schedual is good, but I seemed to have slowed down on my minutes per mile, which is the opposite of what I want to be doing. I had a hard time running my 6 mile (long run) today. It seems that conqering a long run is not like slaying dragons.. (you fight hard, finish triumphantly, and move on). It's difficult every time in the begining, and slowly progresses into somthing managable. That is why I've latched onto running, I think. I progress. I have no natural talent or ablilities for sports, and lack coordination and a "team-player" attitude. But running is simply moving myself forward faster than I did yesterday. And so, I progress. And if it isn't faster than yesterday, it's longer than yesterday.. or it's a recovery day preparing to run faster tommorow. Speaking of which, Lisa, David and myself are all signed up for a 10K (6.2 miles) June 21st, and my goal (as of today) is to run it under 1 hr 7 min. Races are so fun! I'm ready to add another shirt to my collection.
