7 Miles

Mentally, I feel good.  Physically, I feel exhausted.  I am still can't get over the fact that I walked 7 miles today.  My goal for the day was just to finish it.  But then this morning when I was setting up my Runkeeper to start I decided that I wanted to finish in two hours. I barely made it. I love my Runkeeper app.  I set it up so every 1/2 mile it would tell me my distance and pace.  That kept me motivated and on track.

I feel so happy with my time.  I busted my hump. I only stopped once for GU and water break.  I don't know if it's a placebo effect but as soon as I ate my second GU (3.5 miles in) I felt energized.  I know it doesn't work that fast.  

While walking I saw this couple & took a picture of them.  I am not a stalker  but I was observing how they were with each other.  It's something that I want in the future.  I want that so much & I am working hard towards one day achieving the confidence to put myself out there.   

I took my handheld water bottle with me today and I have to say that it bothered me.  While I appreciate having it with me when I need water, I don't like having to carry something in my hands while walking.  I just need to get used to it. 

Check out all those steps... whoo hoo!
