running

my goal this summer is to run two miles a day. no less, no more. if i run more, awesome. i just want to be doing something. so far i have skipped a couple of days (yeah, i know), but i feel pretty motivated. i hate not being able to run a mile before im dead tired. its hard to motivate the body to do what the mind doesn't want to do, and it's hard to fight against stopping when the body is tired. i think that if i can try to turn it into a stress reliever, i will be more willing to go out and do it. im hoping that is the case. i would love to be a runner and one day even do a half marathon or something....


"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the
mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give
up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the
mind is not tired."
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian
