Running

Today is beautiful! The sun is out! We've been so blessed with a few sunny days. So last night I decided I'm going to try to improve my mile time. But first I had to find out what that is. My alarm clock started buzzing at 7am, I hit snooze 2 times and got up at 7:15. It's always the GOING to work out, not the actual workout, that gets me. I could be SLEEPING! I decided the most accurate way to track my mile was to go to the High School track and just go. The sun is deceiving, that's one way Washington is like Idaho, the sun can be out but it's still freezing. I wanted to get there early enough so I wouldn't see any hoodlums. I got through my first two laps then the descended on me like vultures. I survived. I even saw Blake Stever. That was a pleasant surprise. When I finished I was a little disappointed in my time, 16 min and 6 sec, but I haven't run a mile in a year and a half. So I figure, you have to start somewhere. My goal is to eventually get it down to under 10 minutes. But my goal before I go back to school is under 14 minutes. So that is taking off two minutes. I'm going to run 3 times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Now time for Insanity...

"Run from bills, run from mortgages

run from work, run from routine

run from your fears, run from

worry, run from relationships,

run from commitment, run

from handicaps, run from

disadvantages, run from

your wants, run from

your needs, run

from this, run

from that,
