Day 6:  Had trouble sleeping last night, my legs just would not stop!  It was like they just wanted to run so they wouldn't feel like they did!!  I don't have to work until 11 today so I reset my alarm for 7:30 to get a bit more sleep.  I got up, got my running clothes on, stretched out and off I went.  Went better this morning, I only walked about 10 feet, BUT I walked my cool down 1/2 lap and decided to run the last blast; I remember one of my coaches always saying:  "FINISH WITH A STRONG BLAST!" So I did and guess what??  IT FELT AMAZING!  It's always the same place that I feel the need to walk so I just need to get past that point and I will be ok.  I took my IPOD today, it helped cause I could focus on the music and not my running--brilliant idea those devices!  LOL  Now I just need a holder for it when I run so it won't keep changing songs on me! :-)  Today is a beautiful day and I started it off with a better run, finished strong; what a great way to get my day going woo hoo!!  :-)  Eating my cottage cheese and yogurt and drinking my protein shake!  AH THE GOOD LIFE, created by ME! OH I have a WHY to run, I have a very good friend who is overweight and she decided to do a 5K in Sept!  I promised here I would do it as well so ya, by then I think I should be able to make a 5K--who knows maybe go on to a half marathon??  My ultimate goal would be to go back to Massachusetts and do a run with my nieces and brothers!!  THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!  We will see, maybe by next year I will do that!  Boston Marathon??  mmmm no but then who knows??? for today its a 1/4 mile to conquer then on to a 1/2!!  Happy running and enjoy your day!  :-)
