Don't stop me now!

Running through Middle-earth
Miles from Hobbiton: 67.36
Miles to Rivendell: 390.64


Cuz I'm having a good time, I'm having a baaaaall!

Because of course it'd get cold in THE MIDDLE OF MAY!!

Awesome new headband though.

I thought it very fitting that "Don't Stop Me Now" popped up as the last song on my shuffle as I did my last 5 minute free form run today. Because I didn't want to stop. If you follow me on social media, you probably saw the picture I posted in the middle of my run. This one:

Not Pictured: My gross arm sweat

This, folks, is the face I made immediately after I finished a 20 minute free form run (while I was supposed to be stretching). Not only did I run the entire 20 minutes without stopping, but I didn't get out of breath, and I probably could have gone on another ten minutes. I kind of wish I'd kept track of how many kilometers I ran during that single stretch, but no big deal. I did over 6 km during this whole run, which is nice. 

Last August, I couldn't do many things. I could walk, after I limbered up, but I couldn't do much more than that. I had to ask for help to step over things, I had to have help opening bottles. I couldn't even drive for very long.  To even run a few steps was nigh unthinkable. Riding a bike was 100% out of the question.

Now I'm running a 5K race in less than six days.

Aces.
