you are doing absolutely great - and I know ...Hey,<br /><br />you are doing absolutely great - and I know that "razor blades in my shoes" feeling pretty good as well :-) Sometimes it also feels like running on shards, but that's for the better days.<br /><br />Running a long distance is always such a tremendous achievement, no matter in what time. It will always lead you to acknowledge that if you can do this, you can do everything (ok, but fly maybe!)<br /><br />Keep it up,<br /><br />OliverOliver K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02810894314948193114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179669062848033430.post-61340391114215255642011-02-14T15:24:41.364-06:002011-02-14T15:24:41.364-06:00Emily - you will totally do GREAT in April!
