100 miles

lately my sleeping pattern has been so screwed up because of that stupid lung infection that I suffered. I've been sleeping at 5-7 in the morning in which i normally i wake up at that time. It really sucks because by the time i wake up, half the day is already gone. Plus there is that feeling of loneliness that you cant avoid when you feel so alone and you got no one to talk to coz everyone is sleeping. then last night, I ended up passingout my bed before 1 am which lead to me waking up at 5:30 this morning. this is probably the 1st time i woke up before 9 am since the semester ended. I decided to take advantage of this moment so i jumped out my bed, took my pills, put on my shoes on then I was out my house to run. I planned on using the same route I used last year which is a 6 mile path around my town of kearny. this is the first time im running since my knee injury in april so Im pacing myself lightly. after 3 miles, my knee started hurting so i had to slow down. I really hate it when my body cant keep up with what my mind wants to do. this plague me my whole life but i really cant do anything about it but to adapt to the situation. during this time is when I had a great idea. I decided to set up a goal for myself. I usually set up goals that are hard but reachable for me (last summer i decided to read 5 books, I ended up finishing 8). this year I decided that im going to run atleast 100 miles for the summer. I already started thinking on how im going to do this. Im planning to run my 6 mile path 2-3 times a week which will be 12-18 miles a week which means I can finish my goal in 6-8 weeks if i stayed with the game plan. It sounds pretty easy but I know already that it wouldnt be specially because of my lifestyle. I already have 3 different vacation plans for the summer and ofcourse driving school, working and searching for a new job is also in my way. this is going to be an interesting summer! anyone wanna bet?

total miles: 6 out of 100
