5 Miles

Almost a year ago (to the day) I ran for 2 miles without stopping...this week... 5 miles! 

Wow! 

I am slow. 
It hurts for the first mile.
I like the different smells in the air.
I get faster, then slow down...I am scared of losing too much steam to finish.
I feel like a faillure if I have to walk at all.
I notice the temperature changes around bridges.
Vehicles pass too close to me sometimes.
I like running with traffic (makes me feel fast).
I enjoy running in the afternoon.
Hayley always runs out in front of me...I don't mind one bit.
The rain does not bother me (too much).
I like listening to the same music...over and over.
I like how it takes me a few miles to warm up...well, I like saying that!
I enjoy running behind or in front of people...not so much side-by-side.
I really like running with my sister..she kicks my butt!
Miranda is my soul sister in running.
I will be running 5 miles for a while.

Wow.

What a journey!
