Going the farthest distance for the first time

Tomorrow morning I am heading into uncharted territory-a distance over 13 miles and I am more than a little nervous about. My diet is not going well, can't seem to stop my cravings, so I am not getting on the scale again for a while-ignorance is bliss. I had to get on the treadmill Tuesday and that was a mistake. I did something to my knee and today is the first day it didn't bother me. I only did 8 miles this week.

Cooler weather=better attitude!

Thankfully the heat has broken and with it my bad attitude about running. I felt so blessed on Saturday morning for the cool weather, awesome coach, and supportive running group. I haven't been very good for the last month, if I am being honest with myself, and I knew that if I didn't get in the 12 miles on Saturday I was done. With the help and support of Rochelle, Monica, and Kevin I got through the mileage, slowly but I did it! My knees were pretty achy most of yesterday, but so far this morning I have just had a little tightness in my glutes and hamstrings.

I am now looking forward to getting back on track with my training and my diet. The scale has been moving up because I haven't done anything to stop it, so I must fix that problem right away!

Ughh

Long story short-school has started, weather was horrible but now is better, got a really bad cold, still haven't recovered. I haven't ran much in the last three weeks and I am not sure I will be able to recover from the setback.
