Yesterday I was able to fit in my 3 mile run before babysitting. I'm really excited for our group shop Saturday after our group run because I really need better running shoes. My knees have been getting a little sore during and after my runs, so I'm hoping that with better shoes and more stretching that will get better.
Today was a rest/stretch day so not much to report. I was really enjoying stretching and found myself some more at work through out the day. Again, it's a night that I'm feeling really tired and so I will be going to bed early. I need to be in Lakeville at 8 am and with 35W closed between downtown and crosstown, I'll have to find an alternate route. Tomorrow I'm supposed to run about 6 miles and that will be the farthest I've ever ran in one shot. So I'm looking forward to it but a little nervous at the same time. I think that if I'm very conscious about my pace that it will be just fine.

Not too happy at Mile 24, but you can see my honored teammates listed on my arm: Jeff, Doug, and Marty - it was their inspiration that got me to Mile 26.2
