Tonight I walked our dog Eli. He is a 100lb Newfoundland Mix and was very happy to join me. Since we were on our walk around the neighborhood and I was all dressed up to run, I decided I would push myself. Uggghhhh....

I hate running, but for some reason I decided to anyway. What was I thinking?!? I have no idea, but I survived it! The route I took was about 2 miles. I surprised myself when I realized I ran between 3/4 and 1 mile of the 2 mile stretch. What? I did that? I was winded and my legs felt like Jell-O, but I made it. And I am proud of myself.
I know many runners. My husband is a runner. I still don't really know what they enjoy about it. I'm no good at running and I definitely don't enjoy it. But, it is good for you. So I did it. And once I caught my breath, drank tons of cold water and sat down a few minutes I felt pretty good. I don't think I will join my husband in a 5K anytime soon, but I ran. And it sucked. But, I will do it again. Who knows, one day maybe I'll learn to like it. Haha, yeah right!
I don't always enjoy running when I'm in the middle of it, but that "I'm tired from doing something good for myself" feeling afterwards is always worth it!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. That is the best part.
ReplyDeleteAGREED. I absolutely hate running and can NEVER get my fat butt off of the couch to do it! I can never, ever start to love it!
ReplyDeleteI started a little over a month ago and still cant run a full mile, so way to go! I enjoy it only because each time I do it I'm always better than I was before, it's fun to see the improvement. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I hate running too, but every once in while I will try it and remember how much I hated it:)
