Run a go go!

I ran again today. I am probably imagining it but I don't think I was as out of breath this time as I was before. I shortened my stride a bit and tried to focus on things that were slightly ahead of me. I kept telling myself I will take a break when I get to that tree and then it would be the next thing that car or that clump of grass. Crazy thing is is worked. I got that little jewel of wisdom from the Jeff Galloway book.

I actually made the whole first block before I had to slow to a walk. Yay me! I also found myself thinking less about how I looked schlumping along and more about technique. I may never be able to run a full marathon but I am gaining something a little more important out of this experience and that is this. I might not meet the worlds standards for thin or for pretty or for cool but I like me and I will keep galumping along until I get what I want and poop on the world for trying to say otherwise. There is nothing wrong with me but my own insecurities and buddy they are on their way out the door.

I also tried out some software for my phone and I am not crazy about it so I will be searching for some new or maybe just work with what I have.
