July 24 - Best Morning Yet

Anna Ryan kept me up until almost midnight, but somehow still I managed to get out of the bed. Must have been a Heavenly hand that just pushed me on over onto the floor - I was just fortunate my keep caught me I guess.

Even so, this was my best morning so far. Time is improved, but more importantly is that I spent the majority of the time running and needed less walking recovery time. Still a far cry from the ultimate goal, but I felt like I had been stagnant or moving backwards in my progress the last week. So I am marking up the 2 miles in 29:32 minutes as progress.

Note a new banner add on the right for "Blogging for Blood Cancer." This is an awareness campaign about blood cancer that hopefully will spread over many blogs and websites and really let the world know what so many of my new "friends" are battling. If you want to participate, go ahead and click the link and it will take you the information page.

Cumulative miles since the start of training: 43.85 miles
