Ok, more excitement on this end! Today I jogged and partially ran 4.4 miles!!!

Running/jogging for me is more about pushing my self mentally. My body is capable but I'm not always willing. Sometimes it's just a struggle believing that I can. I know that may sounds strange to some people, but I've been told for so long, even told by myself, that I can't do things that I don't always try, I don't take the risk because I can't. Well today, the last 2.2 miles I kept repeating this mantra (I guess it's a mantra) "Who has mental strength? I have mental strength!" It worked with my jogging cadence too! I know it sounds rather cheese, but the last 1.1 mile was the best mile I've ever run so far. I was grinning from ear-to-ear, because I was proving that I am mentally stronger than I was before.

So this isn't just about being physically stronger, but stronger mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. It's about becoming healthier.
