Pace Yourself...

Day EIGHT!

So, yesterday I did two miles.

But who's counting?

...Oh wait... I am.

Anyway. After becoming ridiculously sore and stressed over scheduling for classes, Jake and I ran one mile and walked another. Done.

This isn't me giving up, though. Think of it like a rest day. After all, people need time to recover, which makes me think perhaps I should re-evaluate "The Plan" to include sort of rest days. 
Looking at different marathon training plans, it's amazing that most START at mile ten. Which probably means most people training for a marathon aren't ridiculous mile-walkers. Awesome.

Soreness seems to be a big issue these days. The body's way of telling someone to slow down, I think my body is 
trying to paralyze me. 

Not to mention when I ran yesterday I got a stomach cramp that felt more like my body was shifting around continents or something.

In any case, I'm still in summer, just working and getting ready for school. Which means I better suck it up because come school time it only gets harder.

I'm going to write the next blog on the strange things Jake and I have been experiencing.

Itchy legs?!

Gotta Run,
