The twelve miles I ran on July 23rd were hard. Hard because I made it so - I didn't walk any of the miles and picked a hilly course. I've always been of the nature that "whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." But it has taken my body a long time to recover from that run. I still don't think I'm 100% recovered and I have 13 miles to complete this upcoming Saturday.

Words to describe me right now: sluggish. tight. exhausted. dull.

I'm researching the foods I should be eating, hoping this will give me the extra energy I need. I also have faith that every tide goes in as well as out. I know my determination will return. But until then, it's lights out.

The Basics:
Todays Run: 6 miles
How was it: good pace but jarring to the knees
Next Run: Thursday, 3 miles
Charity: Girls in the Game
Donate: My Cause
