Happy Weekend

Don't you just LOVE holiday weekends?!

It's nice to have an extra day to fill up. And I hope to have a good run this weekend. Unfortunately last weekend, I was supposed to run 5.5o miles. I was doing fine, but all of a sudden at 4.50 I just quit!

It was totally mental! I'm not used to long distances yet this year, so it will take me awhile to "learn again" how to fight off the "just give up" demon. But I will.

So I hope to run 5.50 THIS weekend!

Wonder if I should ask Team Voice to put some peer pressure on me?!

Okay, pals, go for it! Encourage me! Pressure me!

Happy weekend.
SO everytime you go out to run I see a trend of longer mileage....

I KNOW you can go that extra MILE...
You can STRETCH it out a bit longer, and maybe you can tough it through just a weee bit more....

I want 6.5 miles not 5.5 !!!!!

You can do it and improve your time!!!

Sorry Deb but I run 6 miles every Saturday on my hill training route. I guess it has to be the first to 7 you,me? Stay tuned for next weeks show for the exciting conclusion! :)

Extra day off? Huh? I'm working over here!!! ;-) We don't get the extra day cause we get the last week of the year off extra. At least that's their rationale...

In any event, lets get those miles in! I'm going to try to get at least 4 in later on this evening and one more run sunday.

When I check back on your blog I want to see those miles, Deb!!! ;-)

YOU CAN DO IT!!!! I can't wait to hear you beat 5.5 and went further. You can control those quit demons - they can't beat you unless you let them!

Now, get out there and run your heart out!
