I always liked to be active...but i never really enjoyed running - Until this year. We were moving around a lot and I didn't want to keep paying to sign up at different gyms. So, I started running. It started out with just 2, MAYBE 3 miles, 3x a week. When I went home in July, I decided to run the 4th of July 5k. (that's the longest distance I had ever run). When we got home in September I decided to keep running outside. I convinced my neighbor to do a Mud Run with me (5k through a muddy obstacle course). It was WAY out of her comfort zone...so she asked me to train for a 10k with her- WAY out of my comfort zone. However, I took on the challenge and slowly began training to run a 10k.
This weekend I did it!! I ran the First Dam 10k. My main goal was just to finish :) I was able to finish and keep my regular pace the whole run. It was so rewarding. I now have to admit....I finally like to run! I am not fast, I am not the best. But I do enjoy it.
Maybe my next LONG term goal can be a 1/2 Marathon?? ha, we will see!
