Running can be something that a person can absolutely hate or something that a person can absolutely love. For me, it has been both. I have never been a runner. In school, I remember having to run the mile as an assessment for physical education. I remember the side stitches and the shortness of breath, I remember vowing to myself that I would never run again unless some creepy evil person were chasing me down a dark alley and only in that moment would I haul booty. I never in my life thought that I, the anti-runner, would become a runner.
About a year ago, I started the C25K program and was able to run my first 5K. Since, then I have loved to run. There's just something about running that brings a calming force to my life, I'm able to really just get lost in my thoughts and let all of my stresses and worries go... not to mention I lost some weight running, and we all know losing weight is never a bad thing.
This spring I had planned to RockThe Parkway but was unable to due to the fact that I broke my toe. How I broke my toe you ask????? Well, I dropped a paperweight on my barefoot and that's all the info you get to know.... sorry :(
Last night, I ran for the first time in months and now I am back in the boat of absolutely hating to run. My toe throbbed and my side ached, the entire time I just couldn't for the life of me remember why I liked to run in the first place. I question if I will ever really enjoy it again....
