What troopers we were today! We went out into the cold, drizzly day for our run. I was surprised that we were the only people at the track. Having grown up in the Midwest with farms and worms in the basement and what not I think we may be made out of stronger stuff than these sissy old New Yorkers.
Not only was the weather terrible, but the run was too. Last week we ran three minutes at a time, and I thought I couldn't do it. Today we jumped to five minutes at a time, and I definitely knew I couldn't do it. But we did! It was incredibly hard and there were moments when I debated quitting, but I managed to push through. Hopefully the next run will be a little bit better!
To spice up our run today there were a few guys playing soccer who thought it was pretty funny to kick the ball at us and then whistle until we kicked it back. I hope they enjoyed it when we did take time out of our run to kick the ball back, sending it on a wild trajectory, landing nowhere near it's target. I'd like to pretend this was done on purpose to try and teach them a lesson.

Well, I am SO proud of us. Five minutes of running at a time! Who would have thought we could do it? A Harper girl running for five minutes at a time is like a normal person winning the Olympics. It was definitely hard, but not as hard as I thought it would be. It makes me feel like I really can do anything I put my mind to! If I can do this, why not mind reading? Or card counting? Or stilt walking? The world is my oyster!

Geez. Five minutes is forever. But weeks from now you look back and laugh as you are running for 1 hour. Go girls.
