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.
