I have been diligently trying to get back on the running horse that I fell off of, oh, almost a decade ago. Years of cross country in high school taught me to have a love/hate relationship with running, and so I ran (figuratively) far from it once college hit.
My husband recently talked me into running a half marathon this spring, and I took the bait. The first hurdle? Getting myself back in shape to run the basic training run, a 5k.
This past Monday, I did just that! Hooray! I ran 3.1 and stopped for a brief 4 min walk to ease a cramp. I am still getting the hang of eating before a run, and think I had too much too soon in my tummy....a lesson I will adjust for in the coming weeks!
So - for all who don't think it to be possible. Get out there and go for a jog or a walk - you never know what you are capable of until you try!
