Changes in Attitude

Six weeks ago I was doubting myself and my ability to run a marathon.  My hamstring/glut were affecting my run so much I didn't know if I would be able to complete a marathon.  I thought a BQ was out of the question.  I thought a PR was a long shot.  The only sure thing was a BM.  Since then I  have had chiropractic visits, done exercises and yoga and been very careful not to re-injure.  I am feeling so much better.  I have had a change in attitude.  Now I think that a PR is a possibility and if it is a perfect day then a BQ could happen.  The BM is still a sure thing.

Since I moved the long run to yesterday I took today as a rest day.  Jim and I hiked the River Scene Trail in Castlewood up the bluff, down the stairs and along the river.  It was a nice day and the park was very busy.  This evening we had dinner with my parents and took a walk with them on trails near their home.

My fitbit died.  I am used to knowing how many steps I have taken each day.  I ordered a new one which will come in next week sometime.  I feel lost without it.
