level up and go the extra mile 
It felt good to wake up with sunlight streaming through my window, for a change. Anyway, that was yesterday. I woke up way too late. Blame it on “Dirty Sexy Money”. I watched all the episodes of the two seasons in two days time. And I decided to slept in because I took one day off after Monday’s run.
This morning is another story. As always, I woke up at 3 AM. ( sounds like I’m doing a very, very, very long run ) I set my alarm earlier than what I’ve been used to because I’d want to be at the track at 4 AM, at least. After I showered and dressed, I changed channels on the TV looking for something worthwhile to watch while I sipped my coffee. I got carried away and had a second cup. 
After all my stuff were ready, I started for the track. The skies were cloudy and there was some slight winds. I could see the leaves rustled and branches of the nearby trees swayed in the wind. In my mind, I was praying that it will not rain. Thankfully, it did not.
I planned to run only for 3 miles, but then I got experimental again. Actually, I just want to find out if I can tough it out to go an extra mile. And while I huff and puff , I realized how challenging it is when I decided to go the axiomatic “extra mile”. My legs felt like dead weight already but I just hang on. Halfway through, I was about to give up and stop, but I just prodded on and completed another mile. 
I always hear the saying ” Go the extra mile.” Doing something more that is expected from you. At some point in my life, I have applied this aphorism and somehow the thought that it is hard eludes me, until now. The outcome is unquantifiable except perhaps, the added mileage. Nevertheless, what matters most is what I learned from doing it.
Finally, PG has level up ( of course not from eating too much Greenwich pizza ) and will continue to go the extra mile, not only in running but also in the other aspect of her life, hopefully.
