Day 116 - 4 miles (38:45)

"There is more to life than increasing its speed." - Ghandi

Miles Ran: 365.63 Dollars Raised: $1,760.60

It feels weird to already be showered, in bed, watching Bravo and blog-writing all before 9:00! Just having that extra time after work, and extra sleep in the morning, really makes a difference, and I think it came at the perfect time.

Today was kind of ehh outside, so I decided to put in my miles at the gym. Part of me thinks my body hurts a lot less when I'm out on the road, but after my run on Tuesday, I notice every uneven part of the pavement because my ankle gives out a yelp! I don't know if today was any better or worse on the treadmill... Eventually I got into a groove where I was finding the right strike that didn't hurt, but any time I leaned forward or let the treadmill take my foot a little bit, I was in pain. I'm really hoping the acupuncturist can work on that tomorrow!

I ended up actually splitting my run. When I got to the gym almost all of the treadmills were either taken or out of order, so when I got on mine, as soon as I started running the whole thing started shaking! It was really distracting, where I was the air was really stale and hot, and I had this tight feeling in my throat. So after two miles (20:06) I went to the locker room, went to the bathroom, used my inhaler, and got back on a treadmill that I LIKED with a FAN and did my second set of miles.

Ahhh it feels so nice to relax! Can't wait for my vacation time over the next two weeks too!
