"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

Surprising 5

Five miles today. It was hard. I felt like I was running in slow motion and I wanted to give up. My knees hurt. So I was definitely surprised when I saw that I beat my last 5 mile time!

Mile 1= 8:48.88
Mile 2= 8:50.97
Mile 3= 9:13.16
Mile 4= 9.31.47
Mile 5= 9.09.34
Total= 45:33.82

Average 9:07 miles.

Such a hard run, but at least now I know that just because a run is hard, it doesn't mean I am going slow!!!
