March 21: Confidence Builder

As a runner the best way to build confidence is one step, one mile, and one run at a time. So today I decided to build 20 miles of confidence.

7:18, 7:15, 7:12, 7:18, 7:17, 7:08, 7:17, 7:15, 7:12, 7:13, 7:16, 7:04, 7:10, 7:08, 6:59, 6:47, 6:38, 6:15, 7:21, 7:15 min/mile

My goal was to run 18-20 miles but if you know me and my running 'style' (I would not call it style, but perhaps 'running method' is better) you know that means 18 OR 20 miles. Because if I run far enough past 18 (i.e. far enough of a fraction that it is worth posting on here - an additional 0.5 miles for example) then you know that I will keep running until I hit 19 miles. And there is NO way that I am going to run 19 miles and NOT run 20...that would just be absurd!

Such a beautiful day today means that we are off to get publically intoxicated at the base of the Sacre Ceour Cathedral. (Doesn't that sentence just sound wrong?! "So what did you do today?"..."Got drunk outside a church"..."sweet".) Truthfully, we are have some wine, fruit and cheese packed up to go meet some friends and enjoy being outside at Montemarte together...should be fun!

A+
