Thanks for the kind words, ladies! Yeah, I need to lighten up on myself, and I normally do just run for time on my trail runs, but my DH suggested the stopwatch so I could pace myself for longer runs (i.e., not start off at a pace I couldn't maintain). It may work for him, but I think it just stresses me out!

I was in good spirits today, though, and don't fault myself for having a bad day yesterday. I'm a typical first-born, type A, high achiever sort, so I am way too hard on myself. Need to get over that!

I am looking forward to tomorrow's run.
