On the Trails Again

I know that it has been a while since I blogged last, but I am back. My little sister came down last weekend so I spent most of the weekend running around with her. For some odd reason she did not want to go running ha ha.

I did not want to get up this morning at all. After a few days of sleeping in I was already used to it. Thank goodness that Ashley was here to make sure I was going to get up. She is so good at holding me accountable.

It was so windy today. I started out with a really fast pace trying to shave some time off my my personal best, but found out sooner than later that it was a big mistake. I was worn out at the first mile marker. The wind did not help my cause today either. As I got to the top of the Tower Trail the tree line disappeared, and the wind hit me like a wall. I was suffering dragging my feet wanting to quit, however someones motto came into my head. The motto you may ask is "Always Believe." You may think that something that simple is not a big deal, but it works for me. That was enough to pick me up my spirits, and I am glad to say that I did beat my personal best. I ran two miles as at a pace of 11 minutes and 12 seconds.

I felt really good about the run, and the best part of it all was that I got to take a nap when I got home. I am really enjoying running for the first time in my life. I have never been happier.
