Around me people have ran half marathons. I am glad that many of my friends and acquaintances have been able to do so. As I hear their stories of success something inside me wants to do the same. Why can't I just be happy for them, and that be the end of it? Why is it bothering me? Why am I up at 1 am wanting to get this off my chest? The old competitor within me seems to have awoke from a 10 year slumber! YES !! 10 years since I last put on any sort of running shoes for that purpose. After all, I was a cross-country runner all through middle school and most of high school. Not only did I run but I was a better than average runner. How hard could it be for me, someone who has ran before, to finish a half marathon. Yes, I know I have never ran that. It would be nice to have it checked off my list of things, I too, have accomplished.
This will be my own personal record in attempting to ease back into the running world I used to enjoy! As I look at my dusty old sneakers I feel a twing of excitement! I only hope this lasts for a while. I need it to last for a good 3 weeks! That would help me try to form some type of habit!
Now to figure out a good time to run!
Stats:
28 yrs old female
1 6-month old baby
10 years since I last ran
1 old pair of unused sneakers
**If anyone out there comes across this, words of motivations would be greatly welcomed!
