What a perfect morning for a run!  Heather picked me up at 6:00 AM so we could hit the trail nice and early.  I am so glad that we went at that time.  The trail was empty except for the two of us, no bikes to contend with.  We are both working our way back from injuries so our only goal was to run the entire 8 miles and we did it!  My foot feels nice and strong.  This was the best run I've had in ages! 

Notes from the week:  Overall a good running week.  I'm working running back into my daily routine and it feels good.  My head is in the right place and I'm falling in love with the run all over again!
Run distance for the week:  18 miles
Time for the week: 3:53:48
End of week weight:  113 lbs

Thought for the week:  In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that.
