I Run




I did it! I set out to run 9 km today and I did it! In the last two weeks, I havn't been able to make it to 4 km, but I fought my resistance to stop many times and kept at it. It helped having my friend there cuz I knew if I'd stop, she'd know that I didn't run. It's always good having an accountability partner! For anything really. Our pastor shared a good message today about holding our brothers and sisters in the church accountable in their walk with the Lord and if we see them stumble, it's not our place to go and talk behind their backs and make fun of their mistakes and how poorly a Christian example they are being; but instead, we are to hold them accountable in a loving mannor, asking if there is anything we can do to help them through their struggles.
Anyways, so I have three more months of this training business for the half marathon. Three more months!! The annoying part about it is trying to fit that run into my day somehow. It feels so good after; my legs feel like rubber, the sweat is burning my face and my abs feel a little bit stronger each time. I am a runner!

the 5.76 number is actually in miles but it equals 9km. And I'm a slow runner...my friend ran that in 58 minutes. Darn.
