Mile 1

This summer is the craziest thing that has ever happened in my life. I have cameras on my face, can't eat anything I want, and exercise three hours a day. Throughout my blog, I'm going to tell you what has helped me get through this summer of craziness including books, music, specific shoes that are GREAT for running and basically, anything that has given me that extra kick in the butt I've needed. I just got reading this great series called Vampire Academy Series, and I know, I know, yes, it's a vampire book. But it is sooo good! I literally read all five books in ten days and am anxiously awaiting the sixth one to come out sometime in December. It isn't a book series that has necessarily "helped" me get through things, but it definitely got my mind off of things when I wanted to eat. It's great! I honestly don't know why people don't use the library systems more. Bored? Go read a book, they teach you things, fiction or non.

But anyways, today my dad went with me to workout and it was great. I ran a mile full out, without stopping in 12:04, which is a lifetime record for me. Not only the time that I ran it in, but because I ran it without stopping! I've never been able to run a mile without stopping in my life and it happened today. It was hard, I'm not going to lie, but I honestly felt like I could have kept going, but that little red button with the word "stop" looked too good to be true. But still, I did it and it was something that I will never forget. My first mile =).

Oh, and I wanted to tell everyone too about the Crim in August. On Auguest 28th, 2010 I will be running in the 5K road race in Flint for the annual Crim Festival. Everyone should definitely come and run or walk or jog, whatever! But just get moving! You don't know how great the human body actually is until you start doing things that you thought that you could only wish you could do. It's great. If you need any information about it, contact me and I can find anything out! It would be a blast if some of my supporters showed up at the race and ran it with me! If you can't run it, again, walk it! I'm definitely not one to judge these things and will help cheer you on! So come on people, get out there and do things that you never thought you could do!
