"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing.

You have to make the mind run the body.

Never let thebody tell the mind what to do. The body will always giveup.

It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

A First Time For Everything

You could say that running and I have a love hate type of relationship. I love a good challenge, just like I love a good run. It's how I sort things out. It's how I maintain self-esteem. It's my therapy. There is no denying how great it feels when a goal is set, achieved, and celebrated.

FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY-3 miles

Today's run really helped me sort my head out. Haven has been so sick and miserable. Which obviously interprets that I too am miserable. I didn't get much sleep last night and we spent the whole morning at Dr's offices. It was a good break to be able to go home and leave for a run, even if only for a short time. I guess I could have made it take longer, but I was a little anxious to get Havie Raye back in my arms. I got a honk along the way, I think from Kelly, maybe not. Anyway, it looked like her car so I waived back. The honk came just when I needed it. Then as I was winding down, Emity and Tiffanie pulled up and I had a quick visit with them. Of course I blabbed about myself and all the things I was excited and frustrated about. Hopefully they didn't mind. I know I can be so annoying. It was so good to have good friends today to help cheer me on.

    It was me, it was me!! The kids said, "Hey - it's Mandi!" I was so excited to see you so I honked. I've thought about it each day since because that smile was huge and genuine and it made my day. I wondered why the huge smile instead of a regular one, and now I know. : ) We'll be cheering you on at all times. You're one incredible gal!
