Today, I woke up at 6:00am and took a nice jog to school. There I met up with my SRLA (Students Run L.A.) runners from school, and from there we headed off to the Hansen Dam 18 mile friendship run. Call me crazy but I loved this race. It rained through the entire morning during the race and I loved it. With headphones in ear and a nice scarf to keep me warm I ran for 18 miles. Although I have to admit, during the last two miles of the race, I was completely dying and my body felt as if it couldn't run anymore, over all, I really got into the run and the rain was just amazing, not to mention the scenery.
The next race I'm doing now is the L.A. Marathon, I hope I can finish it, I was barely able to finish this one. But all in all, running makes me so entirely happy. During some point during my races I usually get in this "zone" and I'm always smiling. Word of advice, when you run don't forget to forget how you feel (forget that it hurts to run), and always smile, it really does make you feel better. But I mean, don't go off smiling like a weirdo, I'm usually smiling on the inside. If that makes any sense.

Good shit, Paige. I couldn't pull that off with my tarred lungs. And even then, I am devastatingly unfit for such a physical task.
It's all well that you're still healthy.
