Long way to go to get to "marathon-ready," but happy with this all the same.

Thanks. Enjoyed reading your blog. Cheers. Upvoted.@kafkanarchy84 - Way to go!! 7.59 miles is no mean feat. It takes a lot of endurance to be able to do that. I love the graphic with the run log superimposed on your face. Quite an expression (on your face as well as through that creative graphic)!

I would like to run but I do not have a physical condition, I get tired quickly. What tips can you give me about breath control?

Inhale thru the nose, exhale thru the mouth...

WoW great run @kafkanarchy84 sir, i like to say that Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

That's very true in so many ways. Thanks, my friend.

What do you mean uninterrupted? When you go running people stop you to ask you questions and stuff?

As a fellow runner, uninterrupted implies he didn't stop to rest. It was a continuous 7.59 mile run non stop

Actually I did run into a friend today on his bike and he rode along beside me for a few minutes. But yeah, I meant what Chelsea said.

I get it now. I used to run marathon when i was a kid. The resting we did between our kilometers was walking instead of running.
