Running Update #1

I JUST finished running my long run of the week: 4 miles! I honestly wanted to just stop and barf for about 3/4 of it. It was so painful. But... I didn't. I kept going. And I can now say that I ran four miles at once. Before Thursday, I'd never even run more than one mile at a time. I'm pretty proud of myself. This nagging little voice in the back of my mind keeps telling me, "Hey Kaela, you ran less than a third of the half marathon. Get a grip." But I just tell that voice to shut up, and that I deserve the lovely evening that lies ahead of me: reading, listening to the new music I've just gotten, and watching TV.
