The Best Runner’s High ever 11/10/07

Hi everyone,here to give you my weekly update. Now that the play I was in finally ended I was able to return to my normal running schedule. Man what a pain that was I split my runs into a short one in the morning and a longer one in the afternoon for the most part. So I made it through the week pretty well. Anyway so this friday all I thought I had to do on Saturday was run right? But no I read the date for the ACT wrong and it tommorrow!! I had no time to study and had to be there at 7:30 to take the test I had no Clue about it was terrible. Then about and hour after the test and some eating, I got myself together and just started my run at the time I didnt know if I was going to 12, 20 or 25 miles. Anywho at mile 13 I was feeling it and hurting like hell it was really annoying but I kept going and listening to music. Then on mile 20 and 21 (my wall) I started talking to myself or the wall I guess and telling it that I was going to beat the crap out of it and I did. Then here’s were it gets weird. On mile 24 if you have ever ran really long distance your legs get locked into like the same position, I moved them out of that position and did a couple high knees and then the right arcade fire song came on my i-pod and I took off at like a 5:30 mile pace. I was just smiling and laughing the rest of the run. That was the best runner’s high I had ever felt, it was probably from lack of water or brain cells or something but whatever..it was cool. So glad to keep you guys updated and see you on the road!
