As you can see, I struggled with my motivation last week. In fact I did a lot of emotional eating and count it a miracle that I actually maintained my weight with no gain. Don't really know what the deal is/was. I tried to get out of this whole marathon thing, but my training partner won't let me. I'm still not motivated, but at least I have someone to push me forward anyway.

Week 7 Starting August 22nd

Monday 4 miles Check
Tuesday 7 miles Ran 3 miles and stationary biked 7
Wednesday 4 miles Check for 4.5 miles
Thursday Rest Oh yeah!
Friday 7 miles Finked out and only did 3
Saturday 14 miles I made it 13.5 miles! For the last quarter mile I took my shoes off because the blisters were on fire. It really does feel different to run without your shoes. Might not be so bad if I had Hobit feet.

I can't believe you are not motivated! I am the one who didn't want to run a marathon and told you I would need lots of pep talks! Don't give up. YOU can do it! Just once is all you have to do it. And I really am not letting you quit....
