Finally made a break through this past week...made it to 4 miles without stopping and started adding another mile to the distance.
Tuesday I ran 4 miles with one stop and was so close to running the whole distance. Thursday I thought I would make it the whole way but ended up breathing in an almost microscopic bug. This doesn't seem like much but it caused a mild allergic/asmatic response...I started wheezing a little and couldn't breath with all the mucus that formed. Had to stop at the 2 mile mark and walked for quite a while. I did run the last mile but it wasn't easy.
Anyway, Saturday I decided to run 5 miles...ran 4 without stopping then walked for a fairly short time and then ran the rest home. It seemed to take longer than last year to get to that point...must be getting older!!!
Today I ran to Kirsten's and back which is somewhere between 5 and 5.5 miles. I already had it set in my mind that I was going to stop to say hello...so I did...even though I ended up not stopping in. Mind games!!

Ahhhh!!! Just wrote a post and it didn't go through!! I'll try again!!
Ran last Saturday with Kerri. We did 4 miles with a pretty good pace for the 1st 2 miles. I had to stop at the 2 mile mark due to an extremely dry mouth (obviously not drinking enough water). I had to stop twice!
I ran yesterday in the beautiful "San Diego" weather (we only get a couple of those every year here in Houston) and did 4 miles again. Only had to stop once. Started using a pedometer for Walktober and logged 6269 steps.
Ran 4 miles today and didn't stop for the first 3 miles. Only walked for a very short time. I logged 6201 steps so I definitely walked for a shorter distance. It felt great to run this weekend. Need to try to fit in 3 runs during the school week. That so far has not been easy!
