I'm starting to talk like forrest gump

Forrest gump: "Well, I figured since I've run this far, I'd might as well, just keep going.... and then once I got there, I thought, since I got this far, I'd might as well just keep going....."

That was me last night. My regular run is now to 7/11 and back which is 3.3 km. But my body was telling me it wasn't done. So I just kept running.
I ran till my body said, I'm done. I didn't map out where I ran last night, so I had no idea how far I was going.
I came home, jumped in my van to measure the route.

I was 300 stinkin meters away from 5 km!
Being that I ran in the wind and rain....I'm pretty happy with that.
God met me on Whelan in a powerful way. His beauty just hit me and it was nice to have His presence right along side.

Forrest: "Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you...... *smirk* but I could run like the wind blows.
