Today was probably the easiest day to wake up. It was partly because my wife Ashley was joining me on my little running expedition today. After I hit the snooze button a couple of times she asked me if it was time to get up. So we got up got ready and headed out the door.
Ashley started out pretty strong for it being her first time out there running with me. She made it about a half a mile running, and walked the rest. She did awesome and hopefully by the end of the summer she will be able to run right along beside me the whole way. The run was very enjoyable there was a nice breeze today, and there was plenty of wide life along the trails. I had a rabbit hopping along beside me for probably two tenths of a mile. I also saw quite a few field mice, and a snake who was probably looking for mice to eat for breakfast ha ha.
I finished today about ten minutes faster than yesterday. I must say I am very happy with that kind of progress. I plan on running a few more days with a two mile length. Maybe after next week I will stretch it out to three miles and each week add a mile until I hit double digits. I am glad Ashley got out there and showed her support by running with me, even if we were only running together for about a half of a mile. For my weekend training I will be lifting weights because I am figuring the trails will be really packed.
I felt a little sluggish today, but I feel like that can probably be attributed to eating unhealthy yesterday. I had to take a little road trip up to Wichita Falls, and of course being in my old stomping grounds I had to hit up Casa Manana. I felt kinda bad while I was ordering it, but the food looked so good and I quickly talked myself into eating it. Looking back I probably could have ordered something a little more healthy. They did have some salads and chicken items on the menu, but no I went with the chili burritos. You could probably say that I learned my lesson the hard way. Oh well you live you learn.
