Yesterday, I had a great 7 mile run where I didn’t stop to walk at all. This isn’t something completely out of the ordinary. I mean, I’ve completed much longer races and regularly run 7 miles at the park.

The difference is that I don’t normally run that far in the summer. The heat completely destroys me. I can’t run five miles without stopping for a brief walk.

That’s why the seven mile run yesterday was so encouraging. I followed that with an encouraging run of five miles this evening.

7 trail miles: 1:08 5 trail miles: :41
