Amen to that...

Day 4: Complete

Morning session: 8.62 miles
Evening session: 5.11 miles
Total distance: 13.73 miles

This will surely be the last day that I increase my distance. This morning's run was pretty invigorating. I started out feeling a bit down after yesterday's mental struggle. Call me crazy, but I felt Jesus spoke to me. He painted a beautiful sun-lit sky, as the sun poked through the clouds after the brief rain subsided. I paused. Admired. Prayed.

Something like this...


Not sure He guided me toward any actual clear-cut resolution, so to speak, but just to let things be, and go about my life.

Amen to that.

I've also decided that one of these days--perhaps when I reach my 300-mile goal, or at least get near it, I'll take either my phone or camera along with me when I run, and snap some pictures of some of the sights I get to see out on these country roads. A couple of them would probably amuse people. :)

Injury report:
Some pain on the bottom of my right foot. But like the ankle stuff, it actually hurts less when I run than when I walk...

My pace is now at a point where I could take a full day off, and still be on track for 300. It only took me 4 days. I figured it'd take close to a couple weeks. But I won't take a day off just yet. I'll stash it away for a rainy day--or in case of injury, or something like that. Or, who knows, maybe I'll find some extra stamina somewhere, and actually muster the strength to run 31 straight days (not likely, though). :)

Tomorrow should be a relatively light day. Figurin' on running 5-6 miles in the morning, 3 on the way to the gym. Maybe a little more in there somewhere, not sure yet. In the meantime...

D, out.
