Adventures of a marathon girl

Hi Y'all, Some runs are good, some are not just like days and people are I guess. Being raised a rebel with a country soul and a lot of love for all things considered freedom, I learned at a very young age that you don't ever ask ' why me?!' but you pull down your hat and scream 'TRY ME!'. The latter almost always being a challenge either to you or to the person having the nerve to cross you. Yesterday was a bad day. I had been working 20 hours over two of my days off and when I did start out on my run I immediatly felt it was a bad idea. Not just any bad idea but the mother of all bad ideas.

If you want to be a nicer person: be one, if you want to lose weight: stop eating garbage, if you want to be a runner: start running, if you want to feel happy: smile, if you want to feel loved: start loving yourself. It is that simple. Change is about you committing to something even if nobody else seems to be wil
