Running

I started running in March 2007 and my first Run was a 10K distance in April. Today I did a 10 Mile and boy was it tough!!! Very very steep climbs of tough hiking trials of Cougar Mountain in Seattle, Bellevue to be exact. The uphill segments were TOUGH, but the downhills were FUN ... like running through the forests as Jaguar did in the recent movie Apocalypto. I completed the run in approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes ... slow, but, I DID IT!!!!

Came across some interesting quotes on running ...

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian and sub-2:12 marathoner

"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Inspirational sign on a runner's office wall
