I feel awesome!


I've had several days of AWESOME running.  Thursday I ran for 1.4 miles on the dreadmill without stopping.  It felt GREAT.  So today, I got my happy ass up early and did TWO miles on the dreadmill.  Can I get a woot woot! 

I'm on a new running high baby.  I hope I can keep this up. 

I totally can!

Been a while

I know it's been OVER A MONTH since my last post, but that's only because there really isn't anything new going on.  I'm still running.  Pam is still running.  We are still struggling with it.  Seems like it'll be a forever thing for us.

I do feel like our running is improving - the whole mental aspect of running is what kills me.  If there were a way I could close my eyes and just run......well, I think I'd be fantastic at it.  However, you don't see many blind people running.  I'm sure there's a reason for that.  I just can't seem to make my mind stop saying "WHAT??? You mean I have to keep running all the way down this trail?  Are you nuts?"  If I could stop that nagging voice in my head, I think I'd be winning 5ks left and right.  Or maybe not.

All I can say is - I'm keeping it up.  Sooner or later, I have to get better right.  We've marked our one year of running so if we keep making progress, we'll eventually get there.

I hope.
