This evening I decided to give myself a personal challenge.....and I succeeded. I ran the longest I ever have.....for 50 minutes. I am not a Kenyan long distance runner, so don't expect too much of me but I keep a pretty good pace. I have a certain route I run on the roads by my house and I basically doubled it. When it dries up a bit in a few weeks or so I can add on to the run by maybe 10-12 minutes. I don't think that I will make this a regular thing, maybe a once a week thing if that, the longer run that is. Plus I need new running shoes, I've had mine for over two years now and they are just regular Nike's not specifically made for running.
I think I need two pairs, so I can switch in between them, if YOU have a certain pair in mind for me, e mail me and I will send you my mailing address. 🙂
So far I've had a FANTASTIC day.....and its' going to end even better. I just sat down with the last season of Breaking Bad so I will be occupied with Walter and Jesse for a couple of nights. In case you haven't followed my blog for a while....I LOVE Breaking Bad, it's the best show ever! And to celebrate the occasion I threw together some amazing Breaking Bad pics.

So are you running running for 50 minutes or just fast walking??
I can do it for approximately 45 seconds.
But seriously...do you bring a gun while you run, because bears? And what would you do if a bear ran at you? Would you play dead or try to outrun it?

When I say I run for 50 minutes that is what I do.....with no breaks, and it's a steady jog, not a fast walk but not some running like I'm trying to compete with Usein Bolt either.
Bears.....and what would I do? Well they tell you what to do on TV here once in a while but would I remember that if a bear ran at me? Probably not. Depending on the type of bear, you should play dead or run, sometimes try to look big and scary or fight back. I would maybe climb a tree.....although bears can climb. I would probably faint and hope for the best.....
Do I run with that gun? Nah.....I run with my semi automatic rifle strapped to my back.
