So I was working out the other night, I got my strength training done so it was cardio time. I get on the treadmill and started walking away. After a few minutes I felt like I was going to slow, so I kicked it up a notch. I did this for about 20 minutes then I said lets do this. I wasn't sprinting. I was doing a light run. When it hit me, I mean really hit me that I was running I started to smile. I smiled like a giddy school girl. I had to look down because I was blushing and smiling. It felt so good. My body didn't ache, I wasn't clomping l like a crazed camel. I was just running. I WAS RUNNING!! My body was doing something I had dreamed about but forgotten. It was automatic, I felt light. I felt free. I felt my lungs begging me for air. I realized at that point I had spent so much time thinking about running I forgot to think about breathing. So I slowed down. But three times in that 50 minute session I ran. I ran a total of 7 minutes. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it was 7 glorious minutes where I felt like I could win. My back didn't ache, My boobs didn't give me a black eye or knock out any teeth. My body accepted it and now it is asking for more. Every time I work out I push myself and every time I run.

We are currently in San Antonio Cardenas, Tabasco, Mexico. Four-hundred and nine miles separates us from our goal. I totally kicked it up this week and next week is going to be kickin.
Well I am going to say a short prayer and be out.
Dear God, Thank You for today! Thank You for the wonderful friends and family I have. Thank You helping me to believe in myself. Please watch over us all an help guide us on the paths that You have laid out for us. In Your name we pray. Amen
