update on running journey



This is what I would tell everyone...If you see me running call the police because someone is chasing my ass and I need help! Now after running for three months I can not believe I have run over 100 miles and over 9000 calories!!!!



"The true measure of a runner isn't in time, but rather in the effort it took along the way."

This quote fits me so well. Right now running over 40 minutes for some reason is killing me. Tuesday night I ran on the treadmill (runs on the treadmill are always worse for me then outside) and my calfs hurt so badly but I finished four miles in 42 minutes. I am trying hard to keep my 1 miles under 10 minutes so I did fail but at least I finished the four miles! The other day I ran with Kenny for the first time and his stride is so much bigger then mine that he was half way done with our 3 mile while I was still on my 1st mile!...not really it just felt that way to me but it made me put way more into the run then what I had been doing and that is exactly what my goal is....to finish runs better then the last run.

Running for me has become so relaxing and mind organizing which is not at all what I thought would happen. I have said more then once that I never in my wildest dreams thought I would become a runner. This goal of mine for running a marathon has started to turn into a life style for me and with out the cost of shoes yes, it is cheaper then therapy!!!!
