We run shorter distances every Wednesday and Friday and run longer distances on Sundays. Today I ran another 1.1 mile in 14 minutes again and I ran almost all of the way.. Yay! I had almost given up as I was reaching the end and wanted to walk, but I guess I have a stronger will than when I had first begun. There is this sign board we touch at the end of the run and I just wanted to run all the way to it, and I just did that. It also felt good that two of my closest friends came running with me today. And we gave each other high fives, oh yes we did, call us childish but it actually felt good because we knew we deserved it.
We were given a question today. Why don't we all run fast? What is the one major thing that holds us back. We had a couple of great answers, someone said our mind, someone said stamina, someone said muscles and we had a couple of funny answers too, but there was another answer which the questioner suggested that we had not thought of. He said it was our breath. He reasoned that when we run our strongest muscles are put into action and they need oxygen. So when we run try to focus only on the run, focus on breathing deeper to get as much oxygen to our muscles.
I found this great article on runners world on how to improve breathing as we run.

And you ask me why I named this run a click? Well thats the sound my knee has been making since afternoon. Its a sound I have heard it make before and I am not too worried about it. If my knee hurts more I will get it checked but for now, so far so good.
