"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.

A BEAUTIFUL MORNING-10 miles

It was an absolute perfect morning for a long run. Clear blue skies, a slight chill in the air, and not even a breeze to push or hinder. This week was much easier than my 9 miles last week. I haven't been eating enough(so I've been told). Apparently 1200 calories a day isn't enough for an avid runner, especially when your burning that many on your weekend run. So, I've upped my calories a bit this week, and I can see a difference in my performance. Last week I almost didn't make it up the hill, I wanted to cry and quit. This week was fine, I flew right up. My time was awesome today, 1 hour and 31 minutes. I did 10 miles today in only 4 more minutes than my 9 miles last week. My time is improving a lot faster than I thought it would. I am definitely not complaining about that! This next week is pretty intense. By the end of the week I will have ran 25 mile2. Wish me luck!
