Day 4 of Training

It was about a week ago I had thoughts of doing this race. Mentioning it to a close friend, his first response was a laugh, which was very much expected. Thinking he was going to talk me out of it, I was surprised by his next response, " you better hit the pavement". I think I hate him now. Haha.
It was about 7:30 am when I got my start this morning. More cars were out on the road this time. As I crossed the street glancing up to wave thank you, I couldn't believe what I saw. A middle aged woman with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. WHAT! Wow it's 2009 people! Who still smokes? Completely shocked I started to look into the cars of the many that passed me and couldn't believe how many were doing just the same. Here I am thinking I am a very healthy young person struggling to run a race for a cure for children born with a heart condition and these people are actively trying to give themselves a heart condition.
Lets just hope my next day out I will see more people drinking water on there travels to work rather than a cancer stick! Lets also hope I will be less sore and able to jog much further!
