Mexicans… we swim, not run

Oh my goodness, I am so dead, but I did it! I ran 5 miles! woohoo! I am making good progress towards my goal. I only started two weeks ago and I’ve already gone from running zero miles to running 5! I knew I had just a little of my brother’s running genes in me!

5 mile run/jog:

65 minutes

Cool Down:

Walking Beau <3

So this run was so interesting, I didn’t take an ipod with me so I was thinking a lot, mostly about what I would do if a car hit me. The first mile was a nice surprise, I ran into Mariana Gonzalez from SJA (Chilango’s Little Sister), and then I started playing the Mylie Cyrus song in my head (don’t know much of the song so I repeated the chorus a lot, hehe) Almost to mile 2, I got another pleasant surprise, Jeremy came to run with me for the rest of mile 2. I really appreciated that because at that point I was ready to give up. After leaving my motivational running buddy, I  finished up my run. Around the start of mile five, I passed these two girls and one was smoking a cigarette and I thought to myself that I am really glad I stopped that horrible habit. I feel like I am changing who I am by changing my lifestyle. I feel like I am becoming a better person. No more smoking, no more fall ‘06. I don’t know if this is true or not but it makes me feel better so I’ll believe it. haha My knees were really hurting towards the end so I slowed down a bit but I made it, and I am not too disappointed with my time either. I know I don’t run very fast….yet (lol) but I’ll pick it up once I get some more endurance.
