Pain

8.5 on the treadmill in the AM, 10 in the park (two five mile loops).

Current mile; 198.5

I've not run two-a-days like this for a long time. I'm not getting a lot faster but I'm going farther between stops and clocking MUCH more mileage this way. In the morning I was going a much faster pace thanks to some music I had on hand, but since you can't run with a laptop I ran SANS music, SANS partner, and basically SANS motivation. But I did it anyway. And you know something? I'm prouder to say that I can do ten miles without any help than If I could run 100 miles with all the tech in the world. It's a matter of pride, y'know?

That said, there's no way I'd run without an Ipod if I had the CHOICE. Without one, you're forced to focus on nearly every footstep, every position of the spine, and each swing of the arms. That's a lot of pain!
