Maybe it was a little too good, because I lost track of time and worked right on through the lunch hour. In fact around 1:45 Charmaine came in and asked why I decided not to run today. Doh. I thought it was still morning. I jumped up, pounded some orange juice, smashed a slice of pumpkin bread in my face, and got ready.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to take it a little easier on the first mile today, but I&#8217;m not sure how much of a difference it made.

Sometimes I walk the whole thing. It&#8217;s a pretty good hill and I&#8217;m usually pretty beat up by the time I get there. Today was different. I didn&#8217;t walk even once the whole way from the beginning of mile 6 all the way home. I did hit a red light that took forever, but I&#8217;m very sure I wouldn&#8217;t have walked if I had made the light.

And so I did.<\/p>\n<p>Finishing strong always makes you feel good, and I really felt great finishing strong today.<\/p>\n<p><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/92263248\/embed\/54795480e282f36d666ffbf170117f1b035e7aea'><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike Monday, I got up and had a good breakfast this morning.
