Feeling Really Good!

This morning was great for a long run!  I ended up going for about an hour and 20 minutes - a little longer than scheduled, but that's ok - I was feeling it!

More important than my run though, I am SUPER-STOKED for my friend Brandi http://www.inspireandrun.com/ who just signed up for the Umstead 100 Mile Endurance Race!!  Whoo hooo!  I think Arjay and I are both going to help pace her, if she'll still have us.  Brandi and I went to high school together - but haven't seen each other since - you know how that goes.  But, it just proves that the internet isn't all that bad, it reconnected us, and I am so glad!  Brandi has a wonderful gift for encouragement! Check out her blog when you get time - it's really good!

Now, back to me.  I felt really good through the whole run today.  Keeping it slow and steady, walking every now and then - but not too often, and not for more than about 30 seconds, just enough to get my heart rate back down.  Sadly, I always had to do it on the hills.  I'm looking forward to the time when I can just slow down on the hills, and not have to plain old walk.  I know it will come, so I'll work on being patient.  

Here are the stats for the day:
