Running is my nemesis. Its not something I think that sounds like a good time, yet I'm running on a regular basis. I think if its something I really want to do and just keep thinking about it that I get sick of it and just go outside and go for a run. And it's only like 30 minutes out of my day. Big whoop right?
I'm a morning runner. It gets my day started off right I feel. I feel good after I run, minus the sore muscles and shin splints, like I've done something good for myself. Its tough having to go to work after a workout especially if I pushed myself hard enough. Like yesterday. I guess the whole exercise and endorphin thing is correct. I have mornings where its tough to get out of bed earlier than needed to haul myself outside and get moving, especially on the weekend.
I never thought I'd be a runner and I'm not built like a long distance runner but short distances I can handle (and the distances are increasing). I can't believe I myself when I tell Scott I'm going for a run. Never thought that phrase would come out of my mouth. Honestly. I love to go for a walk and challenge myself with walking fast paced. To me running is about the challenge of working up to running an entire route and walking very little of it and finishing a race and hopefully making a better time the next race, working towards the next goal. I guess I could have worse goals to work towards! :) I did get a slightly confused look when I walked into a local shoe store and said I needed to get fitted for a proper pair of running shoes (flip flops don't work so hot). I really don't look like a runner but thats okay. A couple $$$ later and I'm out the door with the shoes my retarded feet need. (Thanks Grandpa.)
So I conclude running is my nemesis and I (heart) running? Maybe. Eventually. We'll see. To be continued.......

I like this! I've never really liked running either. But, I'm back in the gym trying to get rid of the baby weight again. So many people get addicted to running. It would be nice to start running, I don't want to do it alone though. :) Wish we lived closer.
I'm running because its a goal I had for myself for this year. I'm part of training group that meets super early (5:30am) Ellen is doing it with me but she's sticking to walking. I wish we lived closer too. :( It'd be nice to run/work out together.
