Running

Gratuity: Endorphins

Goal Work:
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold on to it
cause you may never get it again
So while you're in it try to get as much shit as you can
and when your run is over just admit when its as its end  -- Eminem

I am not built for running.   I would call myself a big girl; tall and quite overweight; obese actually but hopefully not for much longer.     I am not sure why I run as my chosen exercise, but I do.   I guess because it is so simple.    Simple but not easy.  I will never be any good at it but that is not the point.  The point is the endorphins that running gives me.  Yes it is called the runners high and yes I do experience it.   I have always looked with envy at my neighbors and son as they raced in 5K events.  Eventually my family goated me into running my first 5K in 2009.    I have slowly (as in Penguin) run 6 more 5K events.   My time has improved from 42+ to 36+ minutes.   I dream of doing a 10 minute mile and a 30+ minute 5K.  The dream is quite far away but the endorphins keep me plugging away.   I also know if I could drop 40 more pounds I would get much faster.    There are a number of idea in this article entitled 63 Ways to shake up your running routine that I plan to try out during the year.

MIT and Goals: Completed in a way.  I just realized that I have forgotten to do my 15minute cleanup before I go to bed.  I will have to get on it.
