The Long Trail.

This morning was rough. I did not get home from work until about one o'clock in the morning. After I did get home I could not fall asleep at all. However, when the alarm went off at 7:30 I got up and got ready to go, but not before I scavenged enough change to get an energy drink to give me a boost. Thank you Venom ha ha.

Jacob and a friend from high school named Jessica came to run with me today. This is not the same Jessica that I talked about in my first post. That being said once we got there I took them both to look at the different trails. I really was not expecting to do the long trail today, but Jacob suggested it, and even though I was dreading it I agreed. I am so glad that we did because that extra mile had a lot of nice views from the top of the trail. It was also very nice to see the full course. Jessica was making the both of us look bad though ha ha. Jacob joked a couple of times saying that Jessica was our trainer, and that the other pedestrians were probably wondering how much she charges us.

Overall, I feel much better today. I ran the same distance as the first day if not a little further. When we stopped I was not nearly as tired as I was Monday. I am happy with this progress after only two workouts. I will stretch my self a little more tomorrow,and I am going to attempt the whole two and a half miles of the trail. I am off the rest of the day so I will be able to recoup all day, and I may swim or hit the weight room tomorrow also.

It is days like today you realize you have good friends. Not many friends would be willing to wake up early in the morning and go jogging with you. Thank you Jacob and Jessica. The support means a lot.
