7 Miles Complete!!! Woo Hoo!

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I did it! I ran the farthest i've ever ran! And with the route I ran, I feel pretty good about being able to run 8. On my 7 mile run on Saturday, my last mile and a half was uphill! I really had to dig down deep and push to get up the hill to finish! The weather was perfect on Saturday! Much warmer than it has been. I feel great getting past this milestone! My body feels pretty good still. I'm a little sore, but nothing too major. :)

I am so overwelmed by the encouragement and support that i'm receiving! I can't tell you guys how much your messages mean to me! It really does pump me up and give me that extra drive to go run and push harder than I normally would. I am so thankful to have such wonderful people behind me! I'm excited for 8 miles next Saturday, but not excited that it's on Halloween. Hopefully I can get it over with quickly and start getting ready for my Halloween party.

Happy Running everyone!

Fact: Most running related injuries are caused by over use and poor running form.
