I CAN do it

I am : FOCUS

Which is what I am going to need to be. As my miles increase, my mental strength will be more crucial than ever. Yesterday I ran 14 miles in 2 hours. Easy to calculate that I was running 7 miles an hour! That's an 8.5 minute mile. If I can keep that up for 26.2 miles, that will be a solid marathon time. I returned my Asics, but unfortunately, every single pair had that same dimple in the left big toe. The lady at the store couldn't figure out what was wrong. Eventually, I just had to get a different model alltogether. I settled on the BEAST by Brooks. How could I not buy that shoe? Its called frickin' BEAST. Anyway, the long mileages are of course hard, but I seem to be recovering from them fairly well. As for my 3 month goals I set way back in march?

1. 14% Body fat (check)
2. Chest and Arms are huge (umm...check, kinda. More toned really.)
3. Legs are lean and powerful (check)
4. My Abs are showing through (check)

I will continue. I want more. I am in control.

So, I've reached some goals that I set for myself. Very satisfying feeling. Tomorrow I will determine some new goals to reach be Sept. 6. Out.
