can't stop smiling!

heyyyy-hoooo-heyyy-hooooo. it's your birthday, shake your bootie, it's your birthday, shake your bootie!!! mmm-hmmm, oh yeah...uh-huh, right on...

so. why so excited you ask? well...let me tell you.

i ran up the D.B. hill without stopping.... for the first time.... AND KNOCKED OFF TWO MINUTES FROM TUESDAY'S RUN!!! (ok, so like a minute and a half. whatever.)

HOLLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what's the DB hill? the DB (disciplinary barracks) hill is this GY-NORMOUS hill on Post that i have never NEVER even come CLOSE to being able to run up without almost dying. that is...until...TODAY!

i was on FIRE. it was an AMAZING run. it was cool, clear, beautiful... i finally remembered to bring my i-pod so i was rocking out to some tunes, i remembered to take it easy in the beginning, i thought about posture and proper form while running up/down the hills.....i ran the EXACT same route as tuesday, got warmed up and just hit. my. stride!! it was... was... OHMYGODITWASFANTASTIC! no stopping (except twice at the top of both hills.. i'm not stinkin SuperWoman people, sheesh!), no flies, no out of breath-i-ness (except a little in the beginning, but...it was the beginning. ya know?!) it was awesome...and ya know the thing about it? i just enjoyed it. i didnt try to beat my time, i didnt set out to conquer the hills...i just ran..... and it just FELT SO GOOD!

deep breath in -------- deep breath out-------- ahhhhhh.

well. i suppose thats all i got for today. i cant wipe the stupid grin off my face. i want to go run some more....hell, i didnt want to stop in the first place, but i should probably get some work done!
