    I hope so! I hope I get better for tomorrow's run. I totally underestimated it yesterday! :)

    Happy Saturday everyone!
    Some quotes:

    "Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it."
    -Oprah Winfrey

    "Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself."
    -John Bingham, running speaker and writer

    "Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'"
    - Peter Maher, Canadian marathon runner

    "Ask yourself: 'Can I give more?'. The answer is usually: 'Yes'."
    -Paul Tergat, Kenyan professional marathoner

    "We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable."
    -Sir Roger Bannister, first runner to run a sub-4 minute mile

    "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."
    -John Bingham

    I know Alex is from New Zeland and Charolette from England.... Melissa not sure where you are from.... Anyway I felt bad I post my inspirations later on Thursday and your day is half over already so I decided to post Thursdays now. It's only 9:45 pm here in Nashville and I checked my world clock and New Zeland is half a day ahead of us. I never knew that. I learned something new today :) Enjoy and happy running girls

    Nawww that's really sweet, even though it's not 4pm on friday and I only just saw it! Haha. I try to check in here every day but I'm so used to the time difference messing things up on here that I don't expect inspirations to be on my clock haha.

    It's a goodie as well! I need to focus on positives, and feed my body what it NEEDS.

    Warm fuzzies!

    Eeeeek we have been so bad! Sorry I haven't posted in a couple weeks - but here is something I found in an email today that I thought you guys might like:

    http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/expert-advice-beginners-running-tips?cm_mmc=Newsletter-_-937668-_-06052012-_-101GreatestRunningTips-ReadMore

    It's 101 running tips - I've read it before and it's pretty good.

    As for progress - I finished my last interval run (Week 6 Day 2) a few days ago, but haven't been able to get out since then (that was Saturday, it's now Wednesday) because of the weather! Mon and Tues were rainy and today it's snowing! I might re-start week 6 because I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to give up the interval runs yet - I'm really excited for running a long time non-stop but don't want to put myself off if it's too hard just yet!
    Anyway, I'm thinking about finding a gym I can go to as a one-off to get some running in to keep my fitness up if this snow stays around, so will let you guys know how it goes :)
