And by “Let Go” I mean lower the volume on that voice inside your head that tells you that you can’t go any farther. The voice that says “Oh god I need to stop, I can’t run anymore.” is a liar and if you just try to push yourself (not too hard of course, there are limits) just a bit farther you’ll be surprised at what your body can accomplish. Remember mind over matter and unless you puke, faint or die Keep Going.

I love how far your body can actually go if you just let it. Whenever i run i get to this point where my mind says to me “stop right there, no seriously stop, this isn’t fun anymore, you’re tired just take a break, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME? I SAID STOP IT, YOU’RE TOO TIRED, YOU CAN’T GO ANY LONGER, OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING, I’M DYING, I’M FUCKING DYING HERE, I CAN’T, I CAN’T” And i ignore all of that and keep going regardless and i can go so much farther than i even thought i could. I’m stronger than i think and i love that. And when I’m done and have sat my ass down and taken a break i feel so happy and proud of myself for going farther and harder than i thought possible.
So apparently there’s a half marathon going on in my city, and at first i was like oh that sounds totally cool and fun, i wonder how many miles is it. 12.8 miles, apparently 4 FULL HOURS OF PURE RUNNING. I just did my first mile not too long ago. Then i found out that late registration is $85 and at that point i went well shit. So for now, i won’t be doing a marathon but i really do want to do one this year hopefully D:

No. You don’t get how much of an accomplishment this is. I wasn’t able to ever run the mile run back in school (and coaches said it even fell short of a mile) and last time i ran i could only get up ti .7 - .8 of a mile, but today, i ran 1.2 miles nonstop. And when i reached near the end (this area with turtle statues and the end of the boardwalk) i sprinted like no ones business. I am so proud of myself today. My god i’m so proud!
In other news apparently i gained 10 new followers in the past day, Hi everyone, I’m Amber and I’m here to keep you at your best C:
