I am trying to run fast. I can run really fast for about 1.5 miles. That is running at probably a 7:30 pace, I don't really know. Normally, I cruise at about a 9:45 pace, big difference. So the problem isn't lack of endurance or focus, but I do get really winded, not tired, again big difference. After 1.5 miles my teeth start to hurt, my lungs are burning for more intake and my throat gets really cold and dry. I would imagine this is the unpleasantness running delivers to non-runners who try to take it up and don't know how to pace themselves.
I know how to pace myself, and now I am ignoring that and adding speed. I am not ever going to win a marathon, those people run different. Different as in like blazing fast. But, I don't really know just all the differences, currently the biggest difference is my body isn't on the same page.
Those with me: Brain and heart
Those against me: Lungs and everything else

So terrific that you are running for Samaritan's purse... whether you run really fast or not, you are running!
Good for you. Loved your Facebook encouragement!
