It's been a while...

Both for this blog and for running. I ran a 5k on Saturday and my legs are still killing me. I finished 3rd in my age group and 30th overall with very little preparation. All that training in baseball worked to my advantage for a 5k hahaha...plus we saw some funny things on the way. But i ran behind this little kid that was probably about 10 years old. He was beating me the entire time. But if you know me i have adrenaline overdose so i couldn't let this kid beat me. After about a mile and a half every so often the kid would look back and see me bearing down on him. It kinda made me sad that i was gonna beat him. But this is what made me mad every time we would go by a checkpoint the people would smile and point and clap at this kid because he was doing great. But nothing for everybody else that was around us. So at 3 miles i sprint and i am working my butt off to sprint by him. I get by him and keep haulin' and this guy todd and jr named T.O. was walking back saying "watch out little mans gonna catch ya" and i could not let that happen so i finished strong and beat him. But i am still paying the price with fatigue. But i learned through this that God puts people in your life to make you stronger and push you past what you can achieve on your own. So all in all this kid pushed me to my limit and made me better...Lesson learned.
