All my life I've hated running. I dreaded the mile run every year (several times a year) in gym class and always sucked at it. So why am I running now?
That's right. I'm running as part of my exercise. I'm actually training for a 5k in October! Yesterday I ran 2 miles total. One mile was all in a row. The other mile was split into 2- 1/2 mile stretches. I haven't run a mile since my freshman year of high school and this was much faster. MUCH!
I'm going to tell you something kind of embarrassing... I dream of running and I have for years. Weird huh? I dream of running (pretty) fast and seeing the countryside. I thoroughly enjoy it too.
It's hard to believe that I might someday actually enjoy running. I don't mind it now... but I wouldn't say I'm enjoying it. I hope that by the 12:1 Run in October that I'll enjoy it more. But right now I'm proud of myself for running at all! Can't believe it... after all these years.
