I ran 3.2 miles again. Sunday I was a bit down since I didn't make it that far. I had previously hit the 3.2 mark last Thursday. So I have learned two things for myself in the past week. 1) My body might not like a two day rest between Thursday and Sunday, my two best runs have been after a one day rest, and 2) I have got to overcome the mental breakdown that hits me halfway through the run. I was ready to quit at the start of mile number 2 today. It could be because I keep running the same route and I know in my head where the hills are and where the 3.2 marker is at. No matter what it is, I have got to quit thinking too much. Today I continually told myself, "Keep digging," "you've went further than this before," "Keep pumping," "you're awesome," "This is only a mountain, tell it to move and it will MOVE!"

Thanks for all of the encouragement from you folks out there in MFP land!
