Susan! Awesome!! Enjoy the training!

I did 7 miles last night (and a swim on monday). When I got home from my run, I just kept thinking, "I love running." That must be because nothing hurts at this exact moment!

I don't get to run again until sunday (plenty of swimming and cycling between now and then), but I am going to the trails sunday, and I am already looking forward to it!

I don't know about machine :-) As the volume has increased, my coach took my third run of the week out, and increased the lenth of my other two, so I have Friday off. I have found that I am more tired, so I am going to bed eariler to make up for the additional training

I am pretty intimidated by the next four weeks of my training. The buildup is a little bit insane, but I think I can do it...I hope....I might need to take a day off just to get some extra sleep :-)

Enjoy your runs!
