More Miles

So I finally got my butt in gear today and got on my treadmill. I completely slacked yesterday, so to make up for it today, I did a long run. I had really good intentions to do 8. I was prepared physically and mentally for the challenge, but at mile 6.5, I got off the ol' TM to see if I could hear Sebastian crying yet. Sure enough, he was stirring in his bed, but not full-on crying yet. So, I quickly got back on the TM and finished out that mile that I was on. So the good things about today's run were that I did 7 miles, and I sprinted the last half of a mile. Good mileage and good speedwork! I feel great now too. I really do enjoy running, especially once I get past the first 3 miles. That's always the worst part for me. Now I need to start hittin' the road for some runs. There's no way that I could run this marathon by training just on a TM. It's cooling down here enough to make outdoor runs completely enjoyable. That will be my priority this week!

Sheena, I don't know what happened to her. Kind of weird. I have a theory, but I really don't know if my theory is true.
