Running is the best, worst feeling ever. Or is the worst, best feeling ever? Either way, I think I'm actually starting to like running! More specifically, I like the way I feel after running.
Our neighborhood has tons of little cul de sacs with paved paths that go through the woods and sidewalks on most streets. Growing up in the country suburbs, we NEVER had sidewalks so I'm definitely liking this!
And here is the most surprising part of it all....Seth and I just signed up for a 10K! AH! Last year I walked the Monument Ave 10K in Richmond with my mom and aunt. It was such a great event! Tonssss of people lined the streets in support and even more people were actually participating.
There are lots of different "waves" of the race: fast runners, runners, joggers, jog/walk, walk/jog, and walk. My brother and his wife, her family, and some of my cousins all ran in the race! Although I was just coming off of the Biggest Loser competition, I never did any training to run so I decided to just walk it. It was fun, but the race atmosphere was so infectious that I really did get the urge to just start running. I'm hoping I get that same fever this year!
This year I'm stepping up my game and dragging Seth along with me :) We signed up for the walk/jog wave. I need to challenge myself, but I don't want to overdue it. Baby steps!
T-minus 57 days....better pick up the pace :)
