Another run today

I did it again. I ran even though I didn't have to. I couldn't help it. I love not being hurried on the weekends...I can run as fast or as slow as I want. I didn't, however, particularly enjoy getting out of bed at 6:40 a.m. on a Saturday, but I managed to do just that and get in an ok 4-miler. Seventeen miles so far. It's been so windy out these last few days (22 mph gusts today!), that I'm not sure I want to venture out again today for another 3-miler (yes, trying for 20 again). We'll see...maybe tomorrow? It's supposed to be my rest day.

All this discipline is definitely paying off...today was my "cheat day" and the only thing out of the ordinary I ate (so far!) was bacon (and boy, was it good!). That's what I love most about running; not only does it make me feel better in and of itself, but it encourages me to make better food choices, which also make me feel 100% better.

I did a few fartleks today, but not even for a mile. I can't believe I used to do 4 miles of those!! I have to get back into my speedwork...slowly.
