Longest Run in a Long Time!

This week Madi and I went on two long runs. Monday was a 2.25 treadmill work out with a 7 min mile :) Tuesday Madi and I went 4.5 miles and Wednesday we went 7 miles. I feel great aerobically, but my knees start to kill me after about 3 miles! Hopefully, they are just trying to get used to the hills and the pounding. Road runs are significantly different from the flat treadmill. Today I had less than 20 minutes so I ran 2 miles with one at 7 min mile pace. So add 15.75 miles. Don't forget to be drinking water and getting sleep (preaching to the choir).

It feels great to be out there running long runs again. I wish I had more time to do it and better places to run. Running has been a major part of who I am as a person and has taught me many of my life lessons. It also is where I spend the majority of my time in prayer. I worship God in my running...must take after my dad :)
