RUNNING.

I never thought one word could mean so many things to me. I crave it. I love how my body feels after a long run. I love that I am doing something I didn't think I could. I love pushing my body farther and harder then I ever have before. It's helped me physically and mentally. It's made me realize that I am stronger then I give myself credit for. I feel like it has finally made me complete. Running is not just something I do, is something I am.

"Running is 90%mental 10% physical" A quote that couldn't say it any better.

I try to only run every other day to avoid injury. I by no means fast, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy every minute of it. Today was my scheduled day to run. I was craving it so bad that I actually went to the gym at 6AM, before work to get my run in, BEFORE WORK PEOPLE, that doesn't happen. If you know me, I am not a morning person. You could pay me a $1000.00 dollars to get up at the crack of dawn, and I probably wouldn't do. But I will get up to run. I am still trying to figure myself out. It's like I have warped in to a whole different person. A whole different person that I like a whole lot better.

Some fave running quotes.

"Runners just do it - they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first." - Author Unknown
