Hey Ya!!! Post #205



I did it folks. I did it. I ran 10 miles today!! I will be totally honest here. I have no fucking idea how i did it. I just knew that i wanted to run 10 miles and i made it happen. I was solo. That means i was alone. :O). Well i had my iPod with me and my Garmin. It was 7 degrees, sunny with very little wind. I had my route all mapped out. Well by mapped out, i mean i just started running. I did not run on the boardwalk because i thought it may be icy. I wanted to run, not ice skate. I kept thinking to myself...Raw Cool you are fucking going to do this. I was fully layered up. Every part of my body was covered except for my face. Each step i ran took me closer to my goal. Running is 90% mental and the other 10% well, it's mental. It was an out and back course. I just ran and ran. At mile 9 i really felt i had to stop and walk. So, i walked 1/2 mile. Then, i started running yet again. My iPod died at 1 hour 45 min. I didn't care, i just wanted to finish the damn run. I ran 10 miles in 1.51.10 Here are my stats:
