2 hours maybe?

The distance race is a struggle that results in self-discovery. It is an adventure involving the limits of the self.

Hmmm don't know about that one. Some of the quote a days are a little strange.

I ran at 8:19 pace yesterday!! (against doctor's orders...oh well). Maybe 2 hours is still in sight? I think Baltimore is going to either make or break the mini. Hope I can manage to get miles in during the conference too.

So far behind

6 and a half weeks until the mini and I feel like I'm starting from scratch again. I haven't even glanced at the training log in over 2 weeks now, but I was right on schedule before that. I think I'm pretty much healed from the fall, but now I'm worried about my hip. I think I may have been overly worried about my knee yesterday and altered my stride, which in turn messed up my hip. I'm wondering if there is enough time to get back to where I was 2 weeks ago plus keep upping the mileage to get ready for 2 hours. I'm not so sure.

So slow

I ran 6 miles yesterday! Two weeks ago that would have been nothing worth noting, but that's the most I've run in a while now. Feeling better, but pretty worried about that time goal since the 6 miles were super slow. Very frustrating.
