As I ran......and ran and ran.......and ran.

I ran the most I have ever ran in my life this morning.

I say that every week it seems.

9.1 miles.

As I clocked it last night in my durango where I was to run

I couldn't believe I was going to do ALL that distance on foot.

It just seemed to far for my little body to carry me.

6:15 this morning. I was off!

Nervous and insecure about myself and My body's strength.

I Hit a wall at mile 3 1/2

I had to tell my body. Steady and true.

& keep it slow......

.

.

{Picture by my neice kenzie she took up in Bear lake, I helped her edit it}

so pretty and inspiring!

.

.

I hit the half way mark.

Choked down some energy GOO......{oh my}

Washed it down with water before I threw up.

and then I was on my way back home.....

.

Mile 6

I WAS A ROCKSTAR!

No longer Insecure. Head up high.

Tunes cranked and my feet were in a rhythm.

Felt unstoppable!

.

Mile 8

Steady and true Annie............keep it slow.

I was indeed running home. I wanted nothing more then to make it home.

to see my house around the corner.

Legs numb.

But trusting my body to stay on that steady Rhythm.

.

Mile 9.

I DID IT!

saw my house.........

Tears of Joy filled my eyes.

That I DID IT!

Me!

I did.

All by myself!

I pushed myself.....talked to myself...

promised myself...

.

.

.

Now depends how you look at all this.....

but doesn't it sound a little familar?

like maybe......................, um, Life its self?

humm.....something to think about.

.

.

I found this little quote a while ago....

.

.

Running.

Something you can do by yourself under your own power.

You can go any direction.

Fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it.

Seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet & the courage of your lungs.
