Ladies and Gentlemen,

It’s a scary thing when getting up to do 5 miles is not big thing.  The weather has remained cool this week and running has been much easier.  Since the 9 mile run on Sunday, I have really taken a different attitude toward these shorter runs.  I now look at them as good warmup, and am worrying less about speed and more about trying to get “into the moment.”

The 9 miles really kicked off for me when I was able to just zone out and put one foot in front of the other.  So I am trying for that on the shorter runs.  The problem is that this doesn’t really happen until a little farther into the runs.

I did fairly well today, picking up my pace from Tuesday’s run and grabbing the 5 mile run that should have been yesterday.  I will not get to do 3 miles tomorrow before heading to the airport at 4:30am, so I will try to pick it up with a run on San Diego Beach!

For all of you PRSA goers out there, let’s get a little PRSA San Diego run going!

Oh, and day 2 of operation eat right was a huge success, down to 236.5.  Five days in San Diego at a conference may challenge my eating, but I will do my best.

Until tomorrow! (when I may try to update from a plane!)
