Today at work two of the other girls were talking about how they want to run a half marathon this fall on one of the nearby islands...I didn't pipe up AT ALL! In fact I turned away so one of them wouldn't even dare ask me to join.
I HATE running. For some reason I see it as the end all, be all of life.
Thats when a wave of jealousy came over me....How cool is it that these young women have enough ambition to train for something that they aren't positive they can do and aren't currently prepared for. Something that scares them.
Who am I to not push myself??
I've been trying to get in to better exercise habits here but have quickly found that not working towards a goal doesn't seem to be very productive.....
So....you guessed it. I turned around in my chair and said, "Hey, I think I want to try too."
Immediately they were super supportive and said that we would do it together. I actually started getting excited...about running?!?!
What is this world coming to???
So here goes nothing! The run is last weekend of September. Meaning if we buckle down right away we should be at least a little prepared!
So I'm off to look up a new running schedule. Wish me luck and check in with me to keep me on track ;)
In the mean time I leave you with my thoughts.
Here's to doing something that scares you!!!

No. Kimmi. Do not run. I hate running. Whenever people say "It's on my bucketlist to do a marathon! I think to myself, "wow, what did you do to make you hate yourself so much?"
ReplyDeleteBut I mean, if you really want to, I support you. But if you don't you can do other things with me that don't involve running but are still ambitious.
