Road Block

This week has been tough and today's 8 miles were rough. It was a very busy & mentally draining week for me and I did not run at all during the week. That was not a great idea. I realized after the first 1 1/2 miles today that seven days off makes one weak. I will not do that again.
Amy continues to do so well. She is running the entire distance and she is an amazing inspiration. For someone who never ran before and never thought she could run a mile, she is knocking out these long runs like they are nothing.
As I was walking through the miles today I decided that big guys like me are not supposed to be running these distances. I am fine at short distances, but these miles are tough. Amy was about a half mile in front of me when i was thinking this. She waited for me to catch her and I told her my thought. Her answer, "Football players run". What could I say? It was time to suck it up and keep moving.
Beginning this week, i am going to have to get my butt in gear as the day is nearing when I will have to do 13.1 miles.
I do want to thank everyone who donated to CFF over the past couple weeks. Thanks to Brooks, Laverne, Maureen & Scott. I am hoping that as the weeks continue to pass, others can help us increase this total.
I continue to Run for Peyton!
