Need a little help

Had to run 5 miles today, what a day to have to do it too! 90 degrees and humid there was a little breeze but only if you were standing still. I had to run this evening I decided to go to the park in search of shade. I started running good, I ran 1 mile walked a minute, ran another, walked 1 minute. Then I decided to just go around instead of back at the 2.5 mile. I was slooowww, very slow. I just kept saying to myself,"I'm running my own race, I'm running my own race. Why am I doing this again? Oh, there goes a biker that was a nice breeze. I think I've seen that butt before. I'm running my own race. I think a snail just passed me!" I did finish my 5 miles with about 5 walk intervals thrown in there. Then I had a full mile to still walk back to the car. It was a nice walk. I came over the hill and saw the sunsetting with the reflection on the lake and a windsurfer gliding across (I didn't think there was enough wind!!). It was just beautiful and the song on the i-pod was saying something like we all find our way home. I ran my own race today, saw something I would have otherwise missed and that's why I ran today.
