I was thinking about a lot when I was on this run--lots of decisions to make soon and another one was added yesterday.  I had a looooong conversation with my mom before I ran, so I got off to a late start.  I'm not a fan of running after dinner, but oh well.

 Since I was thinking about other stuff, I wasn't thinking about running.  I ended up averaging 8:18 per mile on this run and it actually felt easy, probably because I wasn't thinking about it.  After I did 4 miles I thought I'd do an easy mile, and that one ended up at 8:18 pace too.  I guess that's good.

For some reason I have been getting a lot of charlie horses and muscle cramping (legs and feet!) this week.  I haven't had any diet change, so I'm wondering if it stems (at least partly) from my inactivity last week.  At any rate, I'm switching to bananas as my fruit of choice today.  Hopefully that will help.

It's kind of fun when you are able to run fast without really thinking about it or trying.

I hope that you're able to get your decisions made to your satisfaction.
