After my initial run around the loop at WMA, I tried again about two weeks later. I went at 9 p.m. and between the full moon and the streetlights the lighting was perfect, so I did a full two laps in 38 minutes. Definitely not proud of my time but it wasn't that horrible. I'm feeling encouraged.

In addition to that, I've really been watching what I eat. And in the past three days I've done just shy of 30 miles. I have a whole new appreciation for marathon runners. I also can't wait to walk some more. I just need to rest my feet for a day or two first.
