Day 3 - 2nd PTT run

Sophomore slump? No way! This run felt great. Between mile 1 and 1.5 I didn't know if I'd make it to today's goal of 2 miles. The last half mile was the easiest though cause I just wanted to get to the finish line. There's a lot I'd like to reveal about my motivation for running. You know, those people, places and thoughts that keep you moving, but I think I'll save them for longer hauls. I'll keep those in my head for now. But they helped me get through 1 -1.5. Now I just have to gradually move them up to "the wall" and the environmental struggles that I dread facing. It's fine and dandy on a treadmill with the snow falling in front of me. Who knows what I'll think when it's concrete and nature v. April
