"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.

WET MARSHMALLOWS-6 miles

Saturdays run was totally awesome! I ran the whole 6 miles without stopping. It took just over 1 hour. I started about 7:45. It was cold, but I had to get out and do it so I could stop being afraid. The sun popped up over the mountain and it was gorgeous. It made me think, "Oh ya, this is why I run". I immediately felt the warmth. It was just what I needed at that moment. I was so ready to reach my finish mark, but it's crazy how you also feel like you could just keep running. My hips started hurting a little towards the end. I just imagined them as big wet marshmallows sliding around. It must have helped because I finished. It was such a great feeling. I think I'll reward myself by buying more tunes! Today finished week 4 of my training. I have ran 51 miles this month! I have burned at least 5000 calories! That should be rewarding enough. My miles really bump up this week. No more short runs through out the week. I am really going to concentrate on my liquids, and food for fuel, not for fun. Wish me luck, I'll need it!
