Racing.

I had one of the best couple of hours of my life on Sunday morning. Getting me all excited isnt very hard - just give me candy and I'm generally a happy girl - but getting someones eyes to smile is truly special. The weather here has been so beautiful lately, it is also one of the first times my mother saw me run, even though I have been doing it since I was 19.

Run your race. Your own race, for you, and no one else. Running is where I get my thinking done. It is how I plan my life. Running cannot give us answers. It does however, give us immense faith in our answers. Faith in ourselves, to our own version of a higher power and faith in our love for others. Dont run a certain trail or race because its comfortable or because you are afraid to go off the beaten path. Take a chance, a leap of faith, maybe you will end up being in a place you never thought you would be - WINNING!

I ran 21kms (13 miles) and 3 miles yesterday (5km - very slow). I admit, I was chasing a "high" today - I only planned to go out for 10, but felt so good that ended up doubling. This is totally my bad - my knee :-((((!!
