A Wall Already?

Today was a three mile run. This should be pretty straightforward now. I shoudn't be killing myself for three miles.

Well, I don't know what happened. I ran the first mile and was feeling damn good! In fact, I shaved another five seconds off my mile time (shut up - I still run like the proverbial tortoise).

Then I hit a wall. How could that be? How could I be doing so well and then shit the bed?

I ate breakfast this morning, thinking that would help. Perhaps I should stick with my peach or other piece of fruit and coffee instead of an English muffin with peanut butter. I thought it would help.

I also ran about an hour later than I usually do.

And it is getting warmer outside.

All of these things have conspired against me! Bastards all of you!

That's okay. When I finished - with a horrible time - I felt pretty good. I was tired and hot and sweaty, but I felt pretty good.

Good enough to go to yoga tonight.

And good enough to continue fundraising.

A giant thank to you for supporting me to one of St. Bonaventure's trustees and a wonderful and inspiring woman - Laurie Branch. I need the confidence you willingly give!
