Thanks for the Support!

My blog has over 1,000 views! Thank you so much for all the support throughout my marathon training!

I ran six tonight - a very forced six. After three days off I knew I had to run today but I was in one of those impatient moods. The weather was beautiful for an evening running, I had some new music to listen to and I had nowhere else to be but on the road ... but like I said I was impatient and couldn't finish fast enough. Fifty-one minutes later I got back to my apartment so I did it, I survived and I'm glad I pushed through. I almost stopped at four - convincing myself all the way up until I got to four that it wouldn't ruin my training. When I finally hit four miles I squeezed two more out of me. I felt alright, a little heavy maybe, but I think I'm experiencing some bloating so I'll chalk it up to that. It couldn't have been the M&M bag I couldn't keep my hands out of during work. :-)

With three weeks left I'm going to really concentrate on drinking lots and lots of water and eating much better than I have the past couple weeks. Chris and I have been on the road so much and it's always so difficult to find a way to be healthy when you're not at home.

Tomorrow I hope to run four to five miles or so - I'd do more if I was feeling up to it. Then I'll take Thursday off since I'm doing my long run on Friday.

It's going to be a short one tonight. I'm staying up until the end of the Yankees game and then getting to bed. Exhausted is a huge understatement ... at least tomorrow is hump day. Again - I really appreciate the company during my training and love that so many people have read my blog. Thanks a million!!
