7

(these farm pics have nothing to do with the content...I am just vehemently apposed to posts without pictures)

Well, I did it. 7 miles. Check. It was a run riddled with problems. Like forgetting my watch, my ipod malfunctioning, and not finding the trailhead. And then at mile 2, I realized that running on gravel/sand/dirt is harder than the road...my body was definitely working harder. And mile 6...that's when the sunscreen started pouring into my eyes, stinging so bad that I wanted to cry. And I'm sorry if this is too much information, but I was totally constipated, so I felt about 10 pounds heavier.

But even with all that, it was a good run. My body is stronger than I think it is. And I know what I want my body to do eventually. And I am on my way.
