Just Call Me Forrest Gump

April 21, 2007 in Personal,Running with 2 Comments

Today, I went for a run. It had been two weeks since I last had a run. I didn’t think I would make it very far.

Just call me Forrest Gump.

So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.

I ran my usual out route. Only I didn’t come back. I just kept running. And running. And running.

When all was said and done, I had run for 27 minutes and 45 seconds. Without stopping. My previous high was 13 minutes.

Wow…

I’m feeling really good right now. I wonder what tomorrow will be like…

    Sadly my largest feat of the day may have been getting out of bed early this morning, even though I didn’t have an appointment that required me to get up and out of bed.

    Good job.
