Running, again!

I know I already posted a post about running , But I wanted to post about my run today. Today I went by myself on a run. I was laying in bed very sad, and very tired. ( My grandfather passed away on Friday) . I was laying there and thought I need to get up and run, just get dressed and go. So I did. I went on the same run that I started on last July, the one that I did the C25K on. The one that I couldnt even run 60 seconds on without stopping. I went 45 minutes without stopping today! I did the loop, and did it again, and then turned around and went backwards so I could hit the hills going up. I just kept going and going and going, I felt like Forest Gump!
I am glad that I did that run alone, it was just me and my music, not really my thoughts, I dont like thinking while I run, I like letting the beat of the music make me go and that is the only thing that I think about while I run.
so if any of you ever think you cant run, think again. YES YOU CAN!

Running

I LOVE IT! Never EVER would I have believed anyone if they had ever told me that I would be running and that I would love it. I would have laughed at them.
I take you back to July of last year when I started the C25K program . ( couch to 5 K) I could barely do the first week which was only 60 seconds of jogging.
I have spent the last 3 Sundays running with a friend, we have done 6 miles each time. Each time gets better and better. 6 miles...
I have an 8k planned for late July, its the Torchlight 8k race. you have to maintain an 11 minute mile or the sweeper van comes and gets you, The Torchlight Parade comes right after that on the same route.
I do not plan to be picked up by the sweeper!
