Many the mile

How close do I have to go... to get to you... Many the mile... :) That song just popped into my head (Sara Bareilles), and it fit for my topic of conversation today. I ran a 5 miler this week! Wh-hooooo! I know that isn't all that much considering that I have to run 3 times that... (minus a little) for the half marathon coming up but I felt accomplished. It was a tough run for me. Starting out I wasn't feeling it, but it was good to continue to push myself to keep going and just to keep on running. I took 3 rest days this week... Oops... I try to max out at 2 rest days even if I'm not running the other 5 days, I want to be out there doing something active. Whether that means 20 minutes of swimming or some time on the ellipticals or even just on my living room floor stretching. I just want to be in the habit of doing a little something everyday (almost..:)). That said, I love me some relaxing and kicking back on the couch or curled up in my bed watching some tv or logging in some much needed sleep time. 

Mantra of the week: Sweat plus sacrifice equals success.
