"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.

26 MINUTES&28 SECONDS-3 miles

Yesterday's run was hard. Only 3 miles, but I think my head was messing with me from my previous days trauma. I bought a stop watch at Wal-mart today. It is so lame. Nothing, compared to the GPS one I have my eyes on. But, it will time my runs for me, so it was worth the twelve dollars I spent. Upon finishing my run the numbers read-26 minutes, and 28 seconds. I was floored! I shaved a good 3 1/2 minutes off of my normal run. So, something was to be gained from my run on Wednesday. My purpose for running up Unity Pass was to increase my speed, due to working hard up the hills. Pushing through the wind was great resistance training. It wasn't planned, but it worked. I got exactly what I wanted. See, somebody really knew what I needed. He did answer my prayers, just in a different way. He knew what I wanted most in my heart of hearts. He knew I wanted to run, and be good at it. He provided a way for me to receive it, to train for it, even though it was hard. I know he was hurting, to see me hurting. But he had a plan for me, i just needed to accept it. I did, and rewards were recieved. He knew what was best for me. He was ultimately watching out for my interests. He gave me the inner strength to push through, and achieve.
