So glad to have a weekly mileage of over 10 miles again. I've been trying to squeak out a few miles whenever I can. I have to get in that mindset that when I run, I don't need to run for an hour at a time. I'm happy if I can log at least 2 miles non-stop. I want to be at that point again where a 5k was just a workout, not an event.

My girlfriends from LHU and I just signed up for the River Run in July as our girls' weekend getaway. There is an option for a 5k or a 10k run. I'd love to be at the point by then that I could crank out a 10k. After going through the stress fracture training for the 1/2 marathon, I feel like 10k is a comfortable push for myself. 6.2 will never be an average workout for me again, but it's definitely within the realm of possibility for pushing myself once in a while. :)

I was home for my youngest sister's college graduation this weekend and Josh and I went to a Phillies game yesterday. I was completely prepared to eat junk, but I ended up being very proud of myself. I ate a little more than usual Sunday and Monday, and definitely ate stuff that I typically wouldn't -- cheesesteak, Oreos, birthday cake, Twizzlers, etc. -- but I never ate to the point of feeling sick, minus Sunday night.. which I think was from the cheesesteak. :\ I ate the other half this afternoon for lunch and felt sick afterwards again. Lesson learned. :)

So, tomorrow's another day, this is another week, and I'm feeling good. :)
