1. OMG it's cold! What am I doing out here?

2. This is hard. Try to relax.

3. Scratch that. This is impossible. Soon I will fall down. How embarrassing.

4. This is not so bad. Go faster! Faster!

5. Wheeeeeeee! Oh, it's over.

Tra la la. Another 30 minutes! Zombies haven't caught me yet :-)

There is a quote, which in this case relates to a half-marathon, but could just as easily relate to a lot of distances:

"At mile 9, I thought I was dead. At mile 10, I wished I was dead. At mile 11, I knew I was dead. By mile 13.1, I realized I had become too tough to kill."
