Run Number 2-UPS Man Please HELP!!
5/31/07. I had to do four miles today. I noticed the grey sky and clouds and was worried, but I went. Then it rained a little and then harder and harder. Then I was totally soaked but kept reunning. Then it hailed. Yes, HAIL and I kept running. I turned towards home and even thought I would ask the UPS truck to take me home and get me out of the rain but I was commited to the run. At three miles, I was home but wanted to finish the whole thing so I kept running and completed 4 miles. I was so wet, it was almost comical, like I had stepped into the shower with my cloths on. I was cold but overheated too so my skin was all red and glowing when I stripped down. I felt powerful. Strong. Invincilbe. I had overcome myself. I had beaten my own sloth. I had beaten my own past filled with exercise failures. I had run father then I had ever run before.
I came inside the hosue and I was wet like I had just stepped out of the shower. My feet were soaked through to the socks and I worried for the safety of the Nike Plus which was carried inside my laces. I had hit a few puddles. But everything seemed to be working okay. So far, so good. I worry how long I can continue this but I am just going to do the days, knock them off one by one and see how far I get.
