You kept on going even when the odds were against you, and that makes you a real trooper. <BR/><BR/>I think it's a rule or something that the bf always beats you, no matter how much harder you train. My ex always kicks my ass, even when he hasn't run in months. Grrr. Boys. But at least they give us some motivation :)Livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080683293402218819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20852692.post-1152162433857635902006-07-05T22:07:00.000-07:002006-07-05T22:07:00.000-07:00Ahh...you did great.
