"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.

ME AND MY GIRL-4 1/2 miles

I took Havie with me on my run today. She has been soooo sick, and I'm sure it all stems from the day care at the legacy center. So, I am going to try to avoid doing my runs on the track. As long as it's not raining we'll be headed outdoors. Haven was so good. She didn't make a peep the whole run. As I was cooling down I noticed she was asleep. I don't know if she had just drifted off, or if she slept the whole run. I was suppose to run 4 today, but I felt so good I decided to push a little further. It is always so rewarding. I hadn't ever pushed Haven for more than 3 miles, and that was on the track. I was so proud that I hurdled hills and bumps with her in tow. I talked with Melissa on the way home. She is training for a triathlon this summer. I suggested we do the Pony Express days 5K. She was all over it. She is going to join me for a 3 mile tomorrow. It will be nice to have a Friend out on the trail. For now I am hoping the weather holds for tomorrow.
