Why didn't I think of this before

Today I ran and used the incline on the treadmill. I ran a mile warm up and then 2 miles with 1.0 incline, then another mile without incline, then one with 2.0 incline, then one without, and the last mile was with 2.o inlince for half of it and the rest was no incline. It was a tough workout and I don't know why I didn't think of doing this before. It is fun because during the incline part I am feeling the burn but the thought of how much easier it feels to run without the incline after having incline makes me keep going. Hope that makes sense.
So I don't really plan on telling anyone about this blog I have created because it isn't really for anyone else, but myself. I just want to make a blog book of it to be able to remember what it was like training for the marathons. Also, no one really likes to hear me talk about all this training and such so it this is my place to do it. I am sure it is boring to most everyone since the majority of people that I know don't really even like running and think I am crazy for liking it so much.
The book I am reading is getting really inspirational. The girl, Kathy, is reading her brothers journal (he died of luekemia) and he talks about not having regrets. I have always liked the saying that we should live like we are dying, because really we are dying...eventually. Who knows when, or how soon, but it is important to get the most out of life now and take advantages of opportunities that we come accross. He also talks in his journal about how he thinks about life in a different way now that he knows he doesn't have much time and he feels like it has only taken him 16 years to figure things out that often take others 30 or 40 years. He is greatful that he knows he is going to die, he has a warning because he can think about things and plan for things unlike someone who is in a fatal car accident and is taken within minutes.
On a side note... Brea woke up when I was just about finished with my run and I let her sit on the other side of the room with toys, but she crawled all the way over to the treadmill and I had to end the run at 7 miles instead of 8. No big deal, it is just cute to see her so determined and able to crawl already. She will be 7 months on the 8th of August. She is such a big girl now!
