So I decided that I was going to avoid handing out candy tonight and that I really needed to get a longer run in. Target goal, 5 miles. I wanted to get out of the neighborhood so I wasn't tripping over kids and go some place safe, so I took my fem self to the local college campus. Lots of good roads and paths to zig zag on and a ton of safety call boxes. Well I was at the 4.5 mile mark and was kind of sucking wind, really sucking wind, very close to the car and considering cashing it in short. Just before taking the hard right towards the car and ending the run some young lady yelled "You go girl!" Well didn't that put a spring in my step and I ran straight away from the car and pulled my full mileage. She'll never know on how many levels that boosted my inner strength.

It is amazing how a small word of encouragement can boost a person. Let's all take a lesson from this and do the same for some one else. "You go girl".

Being acknowledged as a woman is one of the greatest boosts we can get anytime.

Good for you.
