I've been slacking on my training especially during our vacations! With school starting just around the corner I am VERY motivated to get up early and get my runs in. I ran 2 miles this morning!!!! I thought it would take me more than half an hour but I was out and back in 25 minutes. I will take a watch tomorrow and make sure I run out for at least 20 minutes and then run back for a total of 40. Then I'll check what the distance is. I'm just celebrating the fact that I got up at 6am!!!! I am NOT a morning person so this is VERY hard for me. I noticed my knees didn't hurt at all like when I ran the Rillito. I think the gravel was what hurt me. Thanks Tia AND Earl for all the motivation! I love reading Earls blogs!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
