" If you start to feel good during an ultra, don’t worry you will get over it. " -Gene Thibeault
Yesterday marked a special day in my running agenda. I ran my first 25 km. Curiously enough, in January, I ran my first unofficial half marathon in -20 degrees. Yesterday, I ran 25 K in 30 degrees. When I ran 21 K during the winter, I was able to do it with a supply of 500 ml of water, which is not a lot.
This would have been impossible and quite dangerous in yesterday’s weather. I was very lucky that my mother aided me (while cycling) to make this little dream of mine come true. Until I have the proper equipment to carry on me sufficient water supply, I won’t be able to run long distances. It’ll come eventually when I can afford it lol.
I love running more than I could ever put into words. The bliss I feel while running is just something else. I just feel so fucking alive. Every time I put my running shoes on I feel as if I’m going on a first date. I can literally feel the rush of adrenaline and ecstasy pumping through me. It’s that good, you know?
What do I think about while running for a long period of time? Not gonna lie, more often than not I think of what my next Steemit post should be. But I also have many moments during which my mind is simply not thinking of anything other than the motion of my feet touching the ground.
I’m stoked more than ever that my body is no longer injured, and I cherish every day that I can take advantage of that. My body is my temple, and everyday I make it a mission to honor it. Triple laps the boys and make em cry is this year’s motto and so far so good!!!
Are you insane? lol
"I ran my first unofficial half marathon in -20 degrees."
I assume that is Celsius and not Farenheit. Seems like your nose hairs would be freezing at that temp. How did you not get severe frostbite?

HAHAHAHHA:P I’m insane in da brainnn as cypress hill would say;)
It was Celsius. That’s a great question! The truth is that for sure you need to be careful to have a warm enough gear because it could be for sure dangerous. The sun was shining bright on that day and I was like let’s do this horsebrina;)

I had to youtube the sound. The beginning sounds familiar. I have a question now but I can't ask it on the blockchain but you might fit in in Flint if you like that sone. ;) 🤣
Maybe your name should be ILSab. Ice Lungs Sabrina. lol If I tried that I have a feeling I would die of lung frostbite although maybe the heart attack would kil me first. lol

Back when I ran, sounds like it was an eternity, but back when I ran... I struggled with my brain when I ran. It was either my greatest ally it my worst enemy. It could only work as motivation, so internal goal setting, if it does anything else, I would be done. I couldn’t even listen to music because I would end up sing and lose my pace. That and my singing annoys other runners.
I had similar feeling when I would run like dating but I think my feelings were that of the poor girl across from me, like “ what the hell have I got myself into.”
Good job on the 25k!!! Keep it up

I don't know. My singing can get bad at times. It can be bad for me sometimes to experience.

Great distance....
We're on the same path... I want to get again in shape to return to trail running like 2 years ago... I'm already running 10k, but I'm sure at the end of the year I'll be able to run 20 or just a little bit more...
Keep that great work and greetings from Mexico.
