ouch!

my legs hurt. they throb. they feel heavy. i do not want to move. i know i am gaining muscle, but was fat so bad? i do not want to move, but i must. i want to quit, i want to lie down in the middle of the street (i've only done it once), but something stirs me up to move... to run.
i hear it inside me, "run Denise, run... a little farther...a little more...run."

  1. Come on Denise, you can do it!

    The coach for our marathon keeps reminding us that pain is weakness leaving the body. You are getting stronger - good for you keep it up!

  6. Yes!! Keep running.

    I want to know what you've only "done once" - run or lie down in the middle of the street? =)

    And yes, if it makes you feel any better, I would LOVE to live near you and eat choclate chip cookies and talk about our out of style clothes. =)
