Alright, I know this will be hard to believe after I was complaining about 4 miles in my previous post. I do think that fitness room was short on oxygen because it was so small, and maybe being short of breathe in that room for like 3 training sessions helped my breathing now or maybe it was being back on my homecourt today.

Well last night I lifted and played ball for an hour and half. Today was just a cardio day, and I planned on running for a new record of 8 miles tonight on the indoor track. Well after getting close to 8 (88 laps) on the track, I was like it would be cool to say I did 100 laps in this gym so I pushed for 9 miles and 1 more lap. Well once I got that far I started thinking to myself, “Hey, you aren’t even winded like you were the other night and you aren’t feeling much pain…you should go for 10 or all 13 tonight so you don’t have to push to get to 13 anytime soon. Well to say the least, I ran non-stop for 13 miles. I even ran one extra lap to make Tim happy. It took me pretty much exactly 1 hour and 50 min. That is 8.46 a mile which is about right for me when I set the treadmill.

I am worn out right now, the knees ache, the lower back is sore, and the balls of my feet are sore. But I am very pumped to know I’m 1/4 of the way to my goals. Well I’m going to finish eating, shower, and then go to homecoming stuff.

Talk to you all later.
