Should've taken the mascara off..........Amber

April 30, 2006: 12km: 1 hour

Not too bad of a time today! Starting to get better endurance, but it's taken a long time! Both my outsides and my insides were hurting today. Meaning that my knees and achilles ached while my stomach was crampy and my lungs felt like cracking! For almost the entire run I was hurting...but sometimes it feels so good to persevere for perseverence sake!

I had waited all weekend for this run! It's been cloudy for the past three days, but no rain. So I waited, and waited, and waited....and then it finally started to spit! So I grabbed all my rain gear and headed out! Ah man, I wasn't disappointed! I started off in the country on the gravel roads where the fields were burning and it smelt like Africa again! For a lot of the run I had to remind myself to run "heel-toe, heel-toe" just because my first instict is to run on my toes (like a sprint). I think I live my life that way as well where I am constantly reminding myself that life about endurance and not just sprinting from one thing to another.
