Training...

Ran about 7 miles last night after work. Did eight 2 minute intervals with 2 minute jogs in between. I've probably logged around 190 miles in my training so far for the Dublin Marathon. It feels good to run sometimes. Some days the stars are aligned just right and my body is strong. On those days I feel as though I can run at any speed for any length of time. Other days; not so much. Last night was an in-between day. I felt strong at times, but also tired and heavy other times. My trick to get myself out the door is to just commit to running 1 mile. After that one mile, I reevaluate whether or not I want to continue. 99.99% of the time I keep going. The body warms up and accepts the fact that I'm running. Running is great, it's my strategy to stay young and healthy. I'm 35 years old, I need to worry about these things now!!! Talk soon - Heath
