Long run 6/12/10 pt 2

This morning I ran just under seven miles. My goal was at least six today. The run felt pretty good today for several reasons. First, I took off yesterday from running so my legs were fresh this morning. Second, it was in the morning and it is easier to run in the morning (I'll spare you the details why). Third, I ran when it was much cooler and with a nice breeze. The fourth reason why today went well was what I mentioned earlier. I ran with one of my buddies.

This has to be the first time since high school that I ran more than just a couple days in one week. The trick is whether or not I can do this next week and the next and the next.... I think many people can start out strong, but the determining factor is consistency and whether I can continue doing this weekly.

You might be asking.... why running Nate? or what's the motivation to run another half marathon since I did it last year? more on that later!
