"SEVEN POINT ZERO TWO AND SUB ELEVEN"
The title says it all.
The title says it all.
Today started out upside down and rotten.
I wanted to stay in bed until tomorrow so I could start all over.
But then I went for a run.
The first three miles sucked.
I debated with every step to turn around and walk home.
I didn't even have headphones.
Multiple times I felt like just stopping, screaming, and crying with the overwhelming frustration and anxiety that has been circling in my head for the past 6 days.
But when I just kept running... the need to scream and cry dissipated little by little.
Mile by mile.
I continued.
My legs turned to jello (although not as yummy as the jello I made last night).
I ran
And ran
And ran
I ran the longest distance I've ever run consecutively.
7.02 miles
10:58 min per mile
1:14:27 total time
Sub 11 min/mile is slow. Really slow. But for me.... it's a personal best.

I think I feel a little better.

Wish you lived closer so I could tag along for the first 1/2 mile before I would need to walk!
always inspiring. i want to run. maybe you can teach me how it's done.
We seriously need to run together! We are totally the same pace and I am needing some motivation!
please call, text, or email me next time you run. 6685268 janessaben at gmail dot com
YEAH!!!!!! Way to go. I am proud of you. Its amazing what a run can do to the body physically, mentally, and EMOTIONALLY. Well done!!
um, I'm not quite sure I have ever even walked for that long before, so give yourself a pat on the back because I think you are doing amazing, and you've still got a few months to go........just keep swimming/running (as dori says in "finding nemo") and I think you are going to do EXCELLENT!!!!
and boy does that omelette sure look good!!!!! and can't wait to here about this "project" is!!!
