Nine

It was slow, but I ran my first nine miles in approx 1:34. It took a lot out of me and I was feeling not so hot afterwards. It was quite an accomplishment. A few songs that really kept me going (yes, I broke down and brought my ipod) were Stand to Praise by Aaron Shust, No Air (Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown) and Dreamer (Chris Brown). Lyrics to Dreamer (may sound corny but when I felt like I just wanted to stop and walk the rest of the way it inspired me):

What Do i Do.. Stop Go Fail Succed? Live or Die?

I Just Got To Believe Believe its worth saving

And to get lost, lost in a day dream

So why hesitate

Take me to another place

So far far away

So i can get out of the dark

High speed, like I'm racing

It's like lighting, sky is blazing

But you've lost your way,

You've been lead astray

Are there better days for my fallen dreamer

Calling a Dreamer

Calling a Dreamer

(You don't sleep no more)

You don't even sleep no more

(Dream no more)

You don't even dream no more Dreamer

(Dreamer)

Why don't you just dream again

Believe In You

You Got Something To Prove

Your A Star Watch You Shine Bright

On Your Way To The Limelight

Finish Line

The Sweat And Tears

You Can Channel All Of Your Fears

Open Your Eyes

Your Eyes

And It Will Be Alright

Calling a Dreamer

Calling a Dreamer

(You don't sleep no more)

You don't even sleep no more

(Dream no more)

You don't even dream no more Dreamer

(Dreamer)

Why don't you just dream again
