Day 38 (9/25): 3 miles / 28:57

Looking at my time suggests that maybe I went for a leisurely jog around the neighborhood.  Truth be told, I simply ate an insane amount of food and drank an entire pot of coffee about a half hour before leaving for my run and it never occurred to me that my timing might not be the best.  This is a nice reminder that I should not drink coffee with chocolate & whipped cream and eat a foot-long steak, egg & cheese sandwich with extra cheese, mayo & onions on race day.  That's not to say I couldn't have one or the other... my research thus far only confirms I shouldn't have both.  I'm sure there will be more to follow on the subject of foods not to eat before a run.

All of that being said, I have to say that I felt pretty good.  While I didn't feel like overexerting myself today, I also didn't feel like I couldn't handle it.  I love that three miles in less than 29 minutes feels a bit leisurely to me.  I can see that I've come a long way from 37 training days ago.  I can only imagine where I'll be another 37 training days from now...
