Do more!

My warm-up consisted of sweeping the driveway of 2 inches of snow.  This got me ready to run the beach of the Baltic Sea at 5.0mph for .5miles then 5.4mph for .5 miles then 5.0mph for .5 miles. I finished the 1.5miles in 18:08 178cals.

Then the Listowel, Ireland route came up and I did .25miles at 5.4mph then another .25miles at 5.0mph. I was wrapping up the last .5miles that I planned to do at 4.0mph when somehow I heard my body actually tell me "Do more!". I recovered so much in the walked half mile that somehow my body believed it could do more; it was surprising feedback and utterly unexpected. And so I listened to myself and was glad I did as I went another .5miles at 5.0mph and and it felt good! I did the second 1.5miles in 19:39 182cals.

I also did 100 crunches and 20 push-ups.

Most motivational song heard during the workout: Miley Cyrus "7 Things" (slightly embarrassed to admit that)

New Miles: 3.0
Total Miles: 22.0
Miles Remaining: 1478.0
Weight: 141.6
