4 miles
We had our 2nd group run yesterday. thankfully, it was after the freakin monsoon passed. This time we did 4 miles on the bike path. We have a section right across from the dojo that has been measured at 1/2 mile, so up and back is 1 mile and we do that 4 times. I don't know how, but i did it without any walking. Actually, i do know how- i set short term goals and it really works. That and good music on the mp3 player. Next week during Fun week i'm hoping to go to a ninjutsu seminar on thursday night. There will be star throwing and blow darts. COOL!

4 miles! Good for you!!
Wow! Nice job. Music does help for sure!
Your fun week sounds like a blast. Can't wait to read about it.
Oh I'm so glad we're back in touch and knowing you from many years ago it is cracking me up (and making me green with envy) how physically fit you are!! I want to see pictures now...NOW!!

The short term goal trick really works, as well as "tricking" yourself. "As soon as I run for the rest of this song, I'll let myself walk..." then the song finishes, and don't walk, and then you say, "No, as soon as THIS song ends, THEN I can walk..." I'ts all about the mind game.
Supposedly,there's a good deal of mysticism in ninjutsu (ninpo): reading the thoughts of an enemy, seeing auras, etc. That sounds like more fun than the throwing stars or darts (and safer!)
Beth- that is it! its kind of weird to trick your own mind, though. i feel like i have a split personality. we need to get together for another run soon! maybe after this HHH crap passes.
Well done!
Keep up the good work.
Mere - this is the coolest - you're blogging! I love it!
Mere - I just love what you said about short-term goals. I've started running again and I am totally going to keep that in mind.
I love your blog!!
Ok, not that it is any of my business, but I am kinda confused. There is "Red" AND "Sheila" posting. Who is who? Cuz I am thinking that maybe Red is Joan cuz Red mentions Lauren. Hmmm... just call me Nancy Drew....
Sorry Nancy- nope. I'll email you.
umm...email?? hmmm???????
