Today was an 8 mile run. Our group is thinning out a little--partly from injuries and partly from people quitting because they're overwhelmed. I feel fortunate that I haven't had so much as a blister (knock on wood!). I would also be lying if I said that I wasn't, at times, slightly overwhelmed too. I will not give up on this though.
Although I had no intentions on doing so, I just went for it and straight out ran the entire mileage, stopping only for two 30-second water breaks. Needless to say, I am exhausted and not looking forward to a busy night of work. However, I got a little extra dose of positive energy today that will keep me going through the night--after I got home from my run I received a $50 donation from someone in my neighborhood that I had never before met. That is an awfully generous donation to give a stranger! I must say that it leaves me half tempted to knock on his door and give him a hug.
Since I suppose that could be borderline creepy, I'll just have to settle for sending him a very nice thank you card instead:)
