"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
-George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Running Again

Today was the first time I ran since Saturday. My knee just felt a tiny bit sore afterward. I felt a little bit out of shape, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I ran three miles in 26:55.09. So I averaged 8:58 min miles. I was expecting to go slower, so I was pretty happy with how I did today. I made sure to stretch my IT band very well before and after. Still feeling a little sore, I hope I am able to run 8 miles come Saturday.

    I love reading your blog. It is very inspiring to me. I was just wondering where you got your training schedule? How do you know what to run on which days?

    I have a friend out here who's training for a marathon and she is using techniques she learned from the book "Running With Chi" to help her on her longer runs. She swears by the techniques and has even blogged about her time improvements and how much better she feels afterward when she uses the techniques. Maybe if you have time, you could check it out. You're doing great, though, keep it up!!
