Tuesday was a rough run for me, I know now that it was because I did not give myself the proper amount of rest after my first 5k and because I had pushed so hard during that race. For my next run, I made sure my body was definitely rested up! After almost 4 days, I headed back out.

This morning I ran 3miles with no walking! My 3 mile time was slower than my 3.1 mile time but I don't care. It is just nice to know that I am out of my first slump and back at it. For a bit of encouragement, I looked back in my running log and got a good laugh at my beginning entries. My first runs were fairly difficult and they were 60 second run/90 second walk intervals! I remember thinking I would never be able to run 10 minutes straight, let alone 3 miles! Watching progress is awesome! I can't wait to hit 4 and then 5 miles!

I have got to change my eating habits though. They are absolutely horrible. Pizza last night, left over pizza tonight, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. No more talking about, I am hitting the grocery store tomorrow and doing something about it.

My husband and I hit the beach today because it was absolutely gorgeous today...I forgot to put lotion on the top of my feet! OUCH! Never forget your feet or your ears.
