A nice refresher...5.2 miles

So I ran 5.2 miles tonight, and it was hard but doable. I don't think it is realistic to double that by Friday, but I am going to try to run an 8 miler or so later in the week with my friend Joe.

I have found that I run much better with music than with recorded talking (news, seminars, lord of the rings radio show, etc...). Somehow it lets me tune out better, so I don't hear my own panting as much, and sometimes it helps me keep a rhythm not determined by my aching body, which really just wants to run as slow as possible. :)
