I can't believe I just did what I just did! I ran 5 miles! All at once. By myself. In 1 hour and 1 minute. Ok, so speed isn't what I'm going for. FINISHING is what I'm going for.
And finish is what I did. That is to say I finished one week of Chicago Marathon training. The training is 16 weeks, and the marathon is 26.2 miles.
Why am I doing this? Not because I love to run. No way. But I love how I feel after I run. I feel strong, confident, proud, fit, alive. I feel it more the more I run. And the more I feel it the more I want to run again. Crazy? Yes...but so good.
