YES!! I've been waiting a month for that run that just feels easier, like you could keep going, but you've hit the mileage on the schedule for that day. Thanks to George's help, we just had that run! We settled into an easy pace where I could breathe and relax and enjoy it. Up until now everything has felt so damned hard, but I have been determined to push through. I've got goals!

Now mind you - the set up was there. I put a plan into place, and it worked. Obviously George does provide assistance with his slight tug on the line, so there's that. Also, yesterday's run was wicked difficult - long, hilly, and I was pushing to get to the other side of the pond in time for the sunset. So, that definitely helped to make today's flat trail feel easier. Whatever it takes. I finally feel like I'm making progress!
