The Amazing Human Body

It has been about a week since I have written and I think it will be better off this way. I can give you highlights instead of the drudgery of running. As with all training programs I'm starting to increase the mileage of my runs. How my Training Program works, the longest running day of a week is on Saturday. This last Saturday I ran 3.5 miles. Chelsie wasn't feeling up to riding with me which is ok, and rusty had been a butt the last time I had taken him for a run that was only 2 miles, so it was just me and the iPod. All this and the general fatigue of the past week combined against me so that I needed to take 2 walking breaks during the run. I am not beating myself up about this, but this was the fact of the situation. Yesterday, Monday, however, Chelsie did come with me, so did the dog, and when he was being a butt we just put him in the bike basket where he could enjoy the ride. Its actually really cute to watch him in the basket. Anyway so today, running the exact same route for the same mileage I felt great. I was able to finish without taking any breaks and I actually was increasing my speed towards the end. It is simply amazing how our bodies can adapt to the stresses they are forced to endure.
