Heart and Sole!

T-minus one hour and 40 minutes remaining. I have the pre-run jitters even though I'm not competing with anyone but myself. I just want to be able to run the whole 3.2 miles without stopping. That's a ton to ask for someone who has sporadically run within the last few weeks after months away from it. I'm running from my inner demons and past. I am running for my present and future. I'm running.

  I am very relieved I was capable of finishing with how much my routine is lacking. I am going to do this.  It was a tough run, but I enjoyed it.   Running is very therapeutic and it amazing.  Complete and total strangers cheer you on from the beginning until the end.  At the conclusion the field of runners, walkers, and spectators coagulate around and enjoy each others company.  This is a typical fun run.  I'm sure competitive races are slightly different.



UPDATE 02-12-12:
It's been 1 week since I ran the Heart and Sole 5K.  I am very proud and ecstatic to report I have run a total of 10.32 miles this week.   I believe I am on my way to a routine again, and looking for the next organized event.
