Actually, I went running during a hike on Monday (see picture- that's me resting...sort of), but I hadn't been "running, running." Anyway, I started out going on a course we like to call the 'tempo run' (sometimes confused with 'temple' run, which would be horrendously longer).

If you haven't heard that song, then you are probably confused, so I recommend checking youtube or something. Better yet, I will just post a video on here of it for YOUR convenience (who you are, I'm not sure...). Well, after nodding, giving a brief wave, and trying to sound like I could breathe just fine, called out, "Hey guys." Then, of course the only light that had to turn red so I couldn't keep going, did. I kept myself from turning around and looking at the happy group date going on. As soon as the flashing pedestrian appeared on the crosswalk signal, I took off like a rocket. And I didn't stop until I was done. Yay! Maybe running is a lot in your mind- I normally would have stopped! I dont think I've suddenly become and optimistic person. But, I realized my greatest motivation in running- seeing the guy you like with his girlfriend...anger! But, hey, my headache is gone.

Running is...
I've heard that running is mostly in the mind. I never believed it. I have ran cross country and track for multiple years, and I still would listen to the pain, and try and conv
