E-I-G-H-T!

E-I-G-H-T!!!!!!!! Oh yes, you heard me right.

Today was the hardest day yet. Every Saturday we meet with our team at the Trinity river to run together at 7:30am! I was having a low energy day and Chris was pumped. Chris was amazing! He has come a long way in his training. He didn't miss a beat!

Even though it was hard I made it. I didn't quit at all. My legs were in agony. My thighs, shins, and all. I think mainly due to the fact that I needed new shoes.

Afterwards we went to the Fort Worth Running Co. They have a treadmill that you run on while they record your stride by video. Then they fit you with the correct running shoe. They feel amazing! I had forgotten how good my old shoes used to feel. Don't ever underestimate the power of good running shoe. I can't wait till the next time I run and break them in.

Today my legs felt like a car ran over them, so I didn't get much done. I took a long soak in the bath, and just took it easy and relaxed. Oh yeah, I forgot! I also ate Panda Express for lunch and pizza for dinner. The good thing about running is that you can afford to cheat every now and then! You should try it!!!!
