Four Mile Run/Walk

I DID IT!  I RAN/WALKED FOUR MILES TODAY!!!!!!  I am just a tad bit excited because all week I was secretly (and maybe not so secretly to some of you) dreading it.  I mean, four miles....that is longer than an official 5K! 

But you know what made me do it?  Each and every one of you who are reading this blog right now.  I am drawing strength and encouragement and motivation from you.  I cannot thank you enough for those who are taking time to read this, who are talking to me about it, who are asking me about it, who are blessing me with prayers and words of encouragement.  I truly am surrounded with amazing people that God has put in my life. 

Now, the four miles was not without problems.  My iPod died on me on the 20th lap which means that I went four more laps without any music.  I had no idea how much I enjoyed working out to music until I was forced to do it without.  I persevered, though (it must have been the lesson on perseverance I heard yesterday...thank you, Stacey!).  I also started out all ready to go and I could feel my pace slowing down the further I went.  That is okay, though, because I still made excellent time with my FOUR miles. 

Here are my results:

Woo-hoo!
