The turn at mile 3

Day 2: Complete

Morning session: 7.57 miles
Evening session: 5.16 miles
Total distance: 12.73 miles

Today was a killer, not gonna lie. It was rainy this morning, and a little too windy for my liking during both sessions. My daily pace is good right now, but my pace per mile is quite sluggish. Had to stop and walk too many times. Need to kick this soreness real quick. I feel solid from the waist up, but the legs are feeling it, for sure...

My hope is that some basketball Sunday night will be the mind-clearer I need.

Although the Cubs offensive outburst tonight put a smile on my face for a bit, too. :) <-- see?

Injury report:
Ankles: Hopefully these new cuts will close soon, and all will be copasetic again. Did you think I was kidding about the blood? I'll try not to mention it again, don't worry. Just know that this is a pretty regular view for me. Fun, eh? ;)



Legs: Feel as heavy as bricks. Tripped over the first step earlier this evening. The first one?! Really, D? Wow. Moral of the story? Stay down stairs as much as possible. Ha!

Mentally, I've noticed something during each of my runs. Somewhere around the start of mile three, I start to think heavily about my personal life, and the things weighing most heavily on my mind. It makes my brain move faster, and my legs move slower. I feel more at peace with it the last few days than I have in the past, believe it or not, but--it still weighs on me at times, y'know? *Sigh*

Moving on, let's hope tomorrow is a better day. I'm pleased with the productivity of my numbers so far, but I'm not 100% pleased with how I'm getting to said numbers.

I keep telling myself if I can just make it to Sunday, maybe some hoops will help refresh me just a bit.

Weigh-in report tomorrow night...

D, out.
