I must secretly like torturing myself, maybe I feel this need because having a slow life would be boring and uninteresting... besides what is life without a few challenges... what doesn't kill us makes us stronger (I use this reference from a Kanye West song that is thumping in my head because it is on my running mix on the ol IPOD) Yep I did it and I talked a few friends into joining me on this torturous adventure. I have signed up and paid for my registration for the Melissa Road Race at a whooping 22kms! I have done this before- I say while grimacing- I remember training for this 3 years ago when I was searching for a goal to keep me motivated. I have done this before, I think I know I can do it again. I want to do it again- I do really love runnning and as soon as the sun starts shining and we see some decent temps I know this will seem a lot easier.
Good for you Christine! I say way to go and you will do awesome. I also know what you mean about it being so hard right now, when it is still cold and yucky to imagine getting up every morning early to run or running at any time really. Once it is warmer and the sun is shining and you are out with the birds and the sunrises you will be so glad you signed up. Isn't it funny that now that I "can't" run, I miss it but did I really take advantage when I "could"?
ReplyDeleteYou make a very persuasive argument for running the race. Lucky you have SUPER nice friends who are willing to support you in your need for a little motivation. And won't 22 kms feel like a walk in the park after all your training? That's what I'm hoping for...
