So if I set goals, I’m supposed to actually work on it, right?
So I am. Working on it. I’m going to run a 10k this year but thought I should simply start running because I'm a terrible runner. I actually hate it. I know people who run rain or shine. Many of these same friends run half marathons for "fun".
Not me. I want to run a 10k just to prove I can. It bothers me to hate something so much that I avoid it and have to force myself to finish. Right now, running is something that kicks me square in the butt and I'd like to have the upper hand.
So I will run until I don't hate it anymore. I ran 3 miles for the first time in weeks on Saturday. I’m thanking God that I haven't committed myself to a date for the 10k yet. Cardio has always been a weakness. I don't enjoy it as much which means I don't do as much as I should and my running time is somewhat humiliating.
One thing I love about being fit/getting fit? There are no short cuts to getting there. Which means the only option aside from giving up is sucking it up and doing the work!
Go here for tips on a happier run:
Here is great guidance on picking out the right shoes!
