I did it! I ran 5 miles on Saturday, not the required 4.5, I had the audacity to make it 5 miles. The trainer gave us the option of 5 miles, my dumb ass followed the team and not the 2 older ladies I normally run with. Next thing I know I am struggling and two older ladies slow down, crossed the street and give me some encouragement and decided to help me get up the last hill. They gave me some jelly beans with some kind of kick. I am serious these jelly beans had electrolytes and other ingredients that are I guess some kind of runner's crack... It worked! I got the extra kick and when I finished I was hyper. I went off to run errands and then from 3-6 pm I worked the cookie booth sale for my girl scout troop.
This Saturday I am set to run 5 miles, and I will add the extra half of mile. I am going to do it because my body needs to be ready for the race. I am determined.....Hell! I am driven.
Plus, I love how running allows me to feel empowered. I feel as if I can do anything!
I am women.... hear me roar!
PS...this photo is from my recent trip to LA...the demon next to me was rubbing his sin on me! Gosh if only that was Reggie Bush or Michael Jordan! My luck it's some youtube freak!
