Well, I cut my run to 7 today instead of 10 for a couple of reasons. First I went to bed really early and got up at 6:00 so 7 was all I had time to run. Second, I decided because of my hip/back issue that I would cut the milage down. When I started running my hip/back were very stiff and somewhat painful but as I ran it got much better to the point it wasn't hurting at all. The first half mile was very slow but as I realized I wasn't in any pain I decided to push it more and more throughout the run. Come to find out, when I finished, I had actually run the fastest pace ever for my standard 7 mile loop run. I also realized, while looking at my running record, that on my 5 mile race a couple of weeks ago that I had run a faster pace than on my fastest 5K race. That gives me confidence that I can actually break a 20:00 5K...Ha ha..that's if my body holds out. I'm still pushing to run 70 miles this week.

Jabez called on Israel’s God: “If only you would greatly bless me and increase my territory. May your power go with me to keep me from trouble, so as not to cause me pain.” And God granted his request.

I relate to you on the comment, "that is if my body holds out..." I am saying the same thing about my 3:25 marathon goal... It should be possible based on what I've already done "if my body holds out". Don't you wish you had your mind now and your body at the age of 18! I'd have a full track scholarship! Why didn't I get into this back then??! Ah well, better late than never I suppose!

Ha ha...but I'm 51! I would like to just go back 10 years :-)

From TexasLindsey on Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 17:48:50 from 70.253.137.126

Grass is always greener... I suppose we should all just be grateful for what we have right now! What a blessing to be able to run!

From Dan on Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 20:24:38 from 24.209.83.20

Good run, and good thinking- take care of the body!!! I would like to have some of this knowledge years ago...

Nice fast miles & good consistency this week! 57 days to TOU ... you running?

From ACorn on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 13:30:26 from 68.66.168.22

You've got an awesome blog and great times for only a year of running.

Can't wait to see your times keep dropping.

From I Just Run on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 15:23:03 from 67.79.11.242

Thanks Dan & ACorn...JG, I'm still beating myself up about it! I've tried to look at air fares etc. a couple of times but haven't found anything appealing. I'm going to look some more :-)

From Dave S on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 22:41:55 from 4.254.219.20

I've got complete confidence you can do a 20 min 5k.

10 or 15 years back on the body would be sweet.
