Life on the treadmill

I ran 5 miles today on the treadmill in 50 minutes.  I drank a whole bottle of water and had the fan blowing on me the whole time.  It's almost 90 degrees here today.  I couldn't imagine running outside.  

Yesterday I felt horrible and ran 3 miles in 30 minutes...with rest breaks.  I was so weak it was unbelievable.  I think this trial has sapped every once of energy from my being.

I cannot believe I am driving back to Jacksonville in a few hours... It's like knowing that you are going in for a painful operation that will last another week.  I'm dreading it.

5 miles in 50 minutes is really good, especially considering the conditions, your work right now, etc. You should be encouraged by that. Stress will wear down the body like a hard workout. Like I said to Dad a couple days ago, sometimes when these conditions get better you bounce back even stronger than before.
