6.7 miles in 7:17 pace

Took me a few miles to actually get moving this morning.  I don't know whether it was the slushy path, my sore shoulder, tired legs, or the pain in my calf from severe graston scraping yesterday.  Whatever it was, I was appreciating the recovery day.

I thought the loop I set out to do would be 6 miles.  It turned out to be 6.7...oops.

Ya know, you could just round it down to 6 miles...

Actually, I tend to be more of a "rounder-upper." After all, it is much closer to 7 than 6.

Nan, my good friend Bryanna Johnson (I just love her!) told me about you and gave me your blog and that's where I saw you were on here, too! I love reading your posts (on both websites), thank you for always writing so much about your running and your life, it really is so very helpful and inspiring!

I was interested to see that you are familiar with the Graston technique because I'm currently recovering from an achilles injury and my PT uses that technique. Do you get it done often? I ask because I think if I were injured again or could feel an injury coming on that I would want to utilize it whenever possible. It hurts and then the bruises hurt, too! But I can tell it has been beneficial!

I have considered myself a runner since I was in Jr. High track, but I recently have found out that if I put in the miles and the speedwork, I can actually get my times down! What a concept. I have a long ways to go, but sometimes I just feel like I have a lot left in me as far as getting good times. So anyways, thanks for sharing everything, it helps me know what I need to be shooting for, you know?
