I feel it all....

Just can't get enough of my sweet singing lady Feist:
I feel it all I feel it all
I feel it all I feel it all
The wings are wide the wings are wide
Wild card inside wild card inside


I have this song on my Work Your Booty playlist. Running for 7 miles on Saturday, I sure had time to listen to a lot of songs. In particular, I love this song. It's not necessarily the most energetic beat but sometimes the words do more to motivate me then the tempo. When I listen to these lyrics, I just feel that there is something wonderful inside me. And, of course, a run is a great opportunity to see what I'm capable of.

Well I am still struggling with my knee. I'm trying to tweak a few factors and, by trial and error, see where I can make some positive adjustments. I wore my old shoes bc I thought it was possible the new ones weren't that broken in. Well, that didn't make much of a difference. I did buy a new heel lift. That can never hurt. I tried running real slow and I think that *might* have helped. Plus I think some more walking breaks will help as well.

As to my training for this last week. Well I won't be attempting anything adventurous or dramatic. This is no time for increasing my risk of injury. I'll probably do a couple of short runs or maybe hit a yoga class. After all, the coolest boyfriend ever gave me a certificate for an early birthday present. Ah.....

Remember - "Do No Harm..." Yep, I'll toss this one at you from every direction I can this week! :)

Oh, and no taking ALL the medals when you cross the finish line - leave some for us! :)
