I've never been a runner - nothing even close. I remember how much I used to dread running the field in middle school and even more so the mile we had to run for the Presidential Fitness test. Ugh...
Even now I don't really think of myself that way. I think of it more as jogging. But as Sarah has pointed out before - I would consider anyone else who is training for a marathon or even runs 2 days a week a runner - then I guess I would fit the bill.
Well today - Sarah declared me a runner. Why today you ask? Well because today I got up at 6am (not the impressive part yet) out of my nice toasty bed and went for a 3 mile run in 42 degree weather. Can you say COLD!! But I did it.
My initiation to becoming a runner. That along with illiotibial band syndrome, shin splints, and all the money I've spent on gear. At least, I'm happy to say that now I enjoy running. There are days when I can feel my legs are antsy and ready to get out on the road/trail and just go. Now - don't get me wrong that's not everyday - trust me I just wanted to stay in bed this morning.
The picture below has nothing to do w/ running, but I owe you a picture and this is the only one I took today. Lucky you. This would be my neighbors garage. It was garbage day today. The best part is that their toilet and sink got picked up, yet somehow our recycling is still here, when last week it got picked up on the same day as the garbage. Oh well!
Have a happy Friday!
