#16 just singing.....

Beep beep beep *smack*
That's me, chastising the alarm clock for doing one of the two things it's made for... Telling time, and waking me up... But today- today I feel pretty good! I roll out of bed, grab my phone - swipe down for weather........ 55 degrees! Woohoo! I don't have to wear 4 layers to fight the cold! I get dressed, lace my shoes, and grab a granola bar ready to meet marlin for today's run....
Open the front door, and it's raining.... Perfect, just perfect...
It wasn't too bad at the beginning I the run, but 1/2 way through it just began to downpour..
My opinions have changed about runners over the past several weeks, I now respect the 60 year old lady who is running the trail at a minimal speed, fighting to put one foot in front of the other.. I know how hard that can be... But I still stand firm that only idiots run in the rain... Today was the harder run so far, and I feel like someone hooked up an IV and sucked all of my energy out of my body.
But I am determined to make more progress, to get better, and to keep running until I meet my goal.
It might take me 2 years instead of just one, but I'm determined to push until I get there...
So I end each blog with a certain phrase, but it isn't just to signify the end, it designed so that when I type it I acknowledge that I will run again, that I will keep pushing, that I will not give up... So next time you read it (in a few seconds) know that it doesn't mean the end, but stands for the next step I plan to make...


So.



Until next time..
