It is a nice, crisp Sunday here in AZ, and I am really enjoying it! It is finally feeling like Fall! It is the weekend, so of course I am as happy as can be. I am praying that my week is nothing like it was last week...awful.... Anyways, on a more positive note...
When I used to hear the word running I would cringe. I always hated running. I remember back in junior high our P.E. teacher (who I may add was HUGE, and would never run with us) would decide each day if he either wanted us to run the short distance of just around the baseball field once, or the long run around the entire school yard. I HATED when it was the long run. I was always embarrassed because I would have to walk half of the time, and would be so out of breath by the time I was done. My hate for running started young. I also remember one time when I was in late Junior high again, one of my brother's friends dared me to run up our street hill 3 times in the middle of the winter (in Oregon, so it was cold), so I did it, but ended up in the ER because I couldn't breath, from my asthma. Okay, so needless to say, me and running have never gone hand in hand.....but deep down inside of me, I REALLY want to be a runner. I always have. I want that satisfaction of doing something that I really hate, but can start to love. I think it would be so good for me physically and mentally...
So this brings me to my next point...I really want to run a marathon. Actually my goal is to run more than one......but I think I need to start small. I always say I am going to run the P.F. Changs marathon in January, but I never do (and I actually payed one year and still didn't do it :/). So I thought that I would start small and run the Pat Tillman race in April. It is only a little over 4 miles, but I think that is a good goal.It is for a great cause, and if you don't know about it, go to http://www.pattillmanfoundation.org/pats-run/ . I would eventually like to run 1/2 marathons...I am not really sure about the full marathons, but I guess you never know!
Now, where do I begin....I guess I better start running I mean jogging walking fast and work my way up to jogging, and then running! :)
