New Trail Adventure.

This morning I woke up eager to go for a run. Actually I've been up since 3 am but whatever. I've been wanting to check out this bike/running trail but I didn't want to go alone. So I called up my friend, Jarrah, and practically dragged her out of bed. 

From the moment I got dressed and was headed over there, I was excited.The trail, fairly new, was beautiful and very peaceful. You can tell serious money was put into this project. I was surprised we were the only ones there. We did run into a lady on our way back. Also, I guess we were the only crazy ones to wake up so early on a Sunday morning. 

I want to guess it took us about a mile to reach the Trinity River. Now this river is not popular among Dallas locals. It's sort of an almost-there river.The trail took us near it and also over it, on a bridge that was part of a railroad track, waaaay back in the day. 

Check out my arms. I was thrilled! 

As you can tell we took a lot of pictures. The trail offers great views of downtown Dallas. We did run our way back. I was exhausted towards the end but still happy we got out there. It's not going to be my last time, that's for sure! Check out Santa Fe Trestle Trail's official website for more information.

Song of the moment

I've been jammin to this song for over a week. I'm in love. 

#throwbackthursday (video)

Another successful run with my buddy Jarrah. We've kicking so much ass lately, we deserve a round of drinks! This weekend? Deal! I got to use my little water bottle carrier I got over the weekend. As soon we got done, we dropped dead on the sidewalk. My face, arms, shirt, legs were soaked in sweat. Awesome feeling!

My mental game has also been on point! It's easy for me to pause during a run when I start to get tired. I still have a lot to go but with each mile, I feel mentally stronger. I do take 30 second walking breaks for water but I am back at it. I put more focus on finishing and beating my usual time.

Throwback Thursday!

So in honor of Throwback Thursday, I decided to publish this random video of myself. I spend hours watching all these lame clips I filmed 3 years ago in my apartment back in my college days. It's not suppose to be funny, so don't judge my lameness... but whatever thug life! enjoy!

Running Thursday

Finally got a day off! I spend the first hours just laying in bed. Guilty of sleeping in, but what the hell. I had lunch with Jovani at Golden Corral. I didn't want to pig out because I wanted to go for a run later on. FAIL. Well it wasn't that bad but I should of drank more water. 

At the park I met up with Monica. We walked the first lap, since Kobe(her dog) kept peeing on every tree. LOL After we dropped him off we did another lap (2 miles). Monica runs at a faster pace than me, so just image me trying to keep up with her. I think eventually she started running at my pace, which was the equivalent of an old lady crossing the street.

I had a good start. I did stop twice or three times because my breathing was just not right. I kept on pushing till the end. As soon as we finished I dropped to the ground. 

I'm enjoying Monica as much as I can. She recently got a job in Chicago and she'll be leaving in less than 2 weeks. I'll be visiting her soon! 

How was your run for this week?
