It's Saturday. Time to tally up the weekly running mileage - which comes to a total of 10 miles. Not measuring up to my weekly goal of 15 - 20 miles, but I'm satisfied none the less! So happy to have gotten 10 in!
Today I ran 3 on the treadmill. Thought about bumping it up to 4, but in light of the fact that I was running in my new too big running shoes and the fact that I should be taking it a little easy according to the do's and don'ts of my little health issue, I played it safe. Besides, I had already logged in 7 for the week and another 3 would make it a nice even 10.
10 - it's a good number. I'll take it while remembering that Zechariah 4:10 encourages me not to "despise the day of small things." Or in my case, the "week of small mileage." I will be content. I will not despise the days of getting only 3 miles in, or the weeks of 10 total. My 3 mile days will be known as gem miles not junk miles and my weeks of 10 a celebration to my overall victory that slow and steady does win the race!
As for my new shoes? Definitely decided they are just too big! Why they are size 10 1/2!! My feet aren't that big! Even though I gave them another shot, running in them today, they're just not going to work out. Oh well, have done this before. And we'll just do it again. In no time at all, I will be running in shoes I call my own, broken in, molded to my feet, striking rubber to the road (or grass), and increasing in mileage.
