"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.

PERFECT TIMING-3 miles

My run took place outside in the afternoon today. It was beautiful, and somewhat warm. As I was running I thought, "what the heck have I gotten myself into?" "This is crazy!" I think I was starting to feel some anxiety about doing 6 miles on Saturday. Not to long after I ran into MariAnne. She is a cutie who runs all over Eagle Mountain with her kiddies in tow. She is amazing! I have her number and have wanted to call her and recruit her for help and motivation. It has sat in my drawer and I have done nothing with it. I didn't want to bug her for fear that she would think I was a nerd. We chatted for a few minutes as I begged for her help. She offered it up freely. I know she can help me. She even said she would be happy to do some long runs with me. There is hope! In the meantime I am gearing up for Saturday. My other ankle has been hurting this week. Oh the pain! Oh well!
