Watermelon

I hate to really admitt it but I think yesterday was the first time I actually really pushed myself. I was tired, my legs were screaming at me, and I basically couldn't breath. Why the hell am I doing this to myself? Haha, j/k. I absolutely love the feeling I get right after, thats why. I get so energized and motivated. Even if you know me only a little bit you know that thats pretty impressive...
So anywho, I was jogging along last like usual when Andy, Snippy, and Kitten had all stopped a little ways ahead of Jason and myself. Thats when I decided to step it up. My goal was to sprint up and beat Jason to the rest of the group. Now if I had caught him and beat him that would have been a more interesting story, however, Jay didn't back down and wouldn't let me pass him.
WOOT JAY!!!
This just means that I pushed him to be better and makes up for the time I did sprint up and beat him last week. I think we are even now. (I would have liked to beat him though, damn)

After that little bit I recognized where we were. It was right out side the woods behind the middle school and it reminded me of when I did track. We came out there one day to do terrible sprints up a hill on Grey Road....our reward for for such abuse was watermelon :-) I remember eating as much as I could get my hands on and I don't even really like watermelon. It wasn't often that we got to do something like that. There was also a seed spitting contest... wicked gross I know...
This memory of mine pumped me up because as we headed into the middle school woods it all came pouring back to me and made me want to run that much more, complete this training, and do this marathon!
So lets fuckin KICK ASS! I am unstoppable!
