I quit smoking the day before this race. It was only a 10k race, but I really felt the effects of smoking. What were the effects you might ask? Umm, I couldn't breathe! At mile ONE, I thought I'd never get to the end! Isn't that very similar to life. We go through a rough spot, and think we'll never make it through. I did get to the end of this race, and it renewed my love for running. I've done 4 half-marathons, always doing "last minute" training. This time I'm following a 12 week training program. And even added swimming as part of my cross training! I'm not a swimmer. Wait...I am now! I'm getting there...it's new to me, and I really really like it! I should be ready for my next half-marathon in August....Thursday, May 22, 2008
The runner in me...

Well,like I've just said in another blog,I'm brazilian and I don't speak english well.But I'm trying,and reading your post was a good..."exercise"(I think that's the word!).
My mom is single too.My dad died when I was 6,but they weren't together on that time.And I know how hard is this...you have to do anything by yourself,ne mom and dad at the same time. But after all I've seen in my life(I'm only 16 xD,women are very strong.Your past life can be nice,but I believe that you're strong enough to make your present and future better!
I'm trying to make my mum stop smoking...but it's almost impossible!She wants to smoke and that's all.It doesn't matter to her if she's killing herself.
I think that the word I'm tring to say is "Congratulations".For being a real womam,that fight for your happiness^^
Bye *_*
