I am finding running 5 miles very very very hard. Like I can't breathe hard. Like I feel my leg muscles weaken hard. Like I can't make it up that tiny hill without stopping hard. Like I can't believe I ever ran longer than that hard. So...tomorrow, I am going 3 miles flat.
But no worries I think. I haven't been running consistently at all. It's time to start now. My back has been incredible. My ankle is great and best of all the fear that became a part of doing anything downhill has dissipated to healthy levels. Was a bit worried about that for quite a while.

In the end you ARE running! Take it easy and enjoy the build-up.
Yes. It's true. I'm very pleased about that. It's very hard to not get frustrated just because you see what you want to be versus what you are now, but you're right, at least I'm running at all. Had that nice flat 3 miler today where I even zoned out for a bit as I trotted along. That was really nice.
Miki - I haven't been very active in the world of the blog as of late, but know that I check in from time to time, and I admire your patience and persistence. After all, that's what the life of an ultra runner is all about.
I have learned much from your journey. Trust me. Congrats on 5 miles!
I've missed you Russ. And I've really missed your sister wherever she went. I do tap into Ann's fabulous flckr account often so I see pieces of you. :) Thanks for the words. They mean a lot.
