Just looking at this word used to make me cringe.
Unless it was no longer than a 100 meter dash.
As in running the bases for softball.
Or running down a soccer field, where I am distracted and not realizing that I am running.
This all changed a few weeks ago when a friend asked if I would go running with her.
She told me she was super slow and with her long legs I did not believe that her "super slow" would be slow enough for me and my short legs and out of shape body.
But she was.
And I loved it.
Yes, loved it.
We ran a 5k right there*. In 45 minutes. And I felt good.
SOO good. So good that I wanted to KEEP running. (Jaw dropping moment here.)
I loved it so much that we ran the next weekend. And the next.
And now I am thinking I am going to do a 1/2 marathon with her in October.
Its cool. You can say it, because I am still thinking it:
SAY WHAT?!?!?!
*Dislcaimer: We ran on a completely flat surface. Each time we ran. No hills. But its aaaaallll about baby steps! :)

Girl we have got to stop meeting here! I love to run, that is until I spend the time arguing with myself that I can in fact keep running.
ReplyDeleteI am slow too, if you do end up doing this please let me know. I might love to join you guys!
i could have written this blog..LOL. I do like to run but with me it's probably closer to a jog than a run..hahaha. if you decide to train for this 1/2 marathon please consider me as well we could all meet up to go running together like once or twice a week maybe??
