5.0!!!

Yesterday, Leah and I met for our Sunday evening run. We decided that we would go five miles. That seems like mountains compared to what I am used to running. We started out and were talking most of the way. Before we knew it, we had gone two miles already. Amazingly, I felt good. It was one of those rare days when the miles just seemed to tick away and my energy did not. We kept going and finished at 5.2 miles without stopping! I really felt like, for the first time, I could have gone the whole 6.2= a 10K, but we called it quits. There is no need to push at this point. The gradual build up is going well so the 6.2 will come soon. I felt good on my way home last night. The Cotton Row is coming and I am beginning to feel a little more prepared for it. One thing we are still going to have to do is--hill training! Another day. Today, I am happy with 5!
