remembering to thank God that I can run

Today was a great run. Besides the fact that the weather is breaking records for being so warm in January in Michigan, as a runner I'm happy. I cannot seem to find a 5 mile loop though. I can find a 4.5 and 6, but no 5 yet. lol Maybe I'll just skip the 5 mile for this week and do 6 milers for the next 2 weeks. I didn't even think my body could handle 6 miles well yet, but it did.

I ran into town and back in 53:42 for 6.03 miles. The weather was warmer than normal, but as i run into the city, the temp gets warmer and warmer, so I sweat a lot. BUT THEN, i have to run back out into the country to finish my run, and I'm instantly cold. Kinda funny, kinda not.

But all in all, I am happy...but I still need to watch out for my knee...can't have it blowing out on me.

GOAL: technically it's 23 or 24 miles because you never fun the full marathon (26.2mi) before the race, you wait until race day. So let's say 24mi is my goal...I'm officially a quarter of the way there. All glory to God. Seriously.
