Back in January, I set the resolution to "be a runner," with running a 5k on my list of things to do. I followed a training schedule and was running three miles! I know that might not be a long distance for some people, but three miles for me is a big deal! I kept putting off filling out the entry form for the upcoming race I had in mind. I think I was scared of committing to it. I put it off until the entry fee was $40 and I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pay $40 to run 3 miles outside.
All that training down the drain! (well, not really down the drain, I felt better than ever)
I didn't realize 5k's and other races are happening every month! A friend showed me where I could see the list of every event in the state and guess what? I filled out the entry papers and am running my first 5k next Friday night. The money is going towards the local school district (it's a lot less than $40 though) and I feel good about that.
Two months ago I stopped running and started doing classes at the gym instead. I was just burned out of running! So I'm a little rusty but am very excited to finally do what I set out to do!
I won't be first but I will finish!
