Training Day 7

G-d rested on the 7th day...... and so did I. I know that I cannot run everyday like a mad woman without a day of rest sometime within the week. No one should as it is clearly stated in the good book. So I am taking a cue from the one above and resting. However, I am also using the day for some good. First my body is resting from all the abuse, I mean exercise it has been receiving over the past week. I can already notice that my legs are not sore and feel healthier, stronger, maybe a little sexier ;)

Second, I can already notice the improvements to my mood. Third, I can tell some other changes in me, like dedication, before I would never run in the rain and this week I did. I continue to struggle with waking up at the crack of dawn to eat and stretch 90 minutes before running. I was told that my blood pressure it perfect...what awesome news considering that high blood pressure does run in my family. Lastly, I went from barely running more than a block to being able to lightly jog more than 2 miles...who cares that I run slower than what I can walk! I ran farther than ever before and I actually enjoyed it. Maybe next week I will finally achieve that runner's high.
