God willing, I will run until the end.
Personal:
I run with God. I use my running time to contemplate, to pray and to listen for His call. I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and we have four children.
I didn't intend to take off Monday and Tuesday, nor did I need to. But nevertheless I did.
I had to bandage my thighs for this run, but it worked fine. I ran in the beautiful evening while the boys biked with me. We went the park the long way, I ran along the bike path by myself while they played, and then I ran home with them.
Just two miles on the treadmill. Bandaged again. I have really sensitive skin that tends to react to adhesive in a bad way. I am a little afraid of a reaction, because I don't want to pull off skin to create a wound around my wound.
Totally not why I only ran two miles, though. Just felt two miles was okay for today. Need to decide my next goal. I don't do well without a goal on the horizon.
Not a great running week. Not a great work week either, but at least it's over. The week was hectic and full of traveling, which is not normally in my job description.
I worked a track meet today and then ran on the treadmill.
