I started running on a regular/semi-regular basis a year and a half ago. Before that, I would elliptical it at the gym and before that, I never really exercised. I was a dancer growing up, but beyond the requisite running the track in middle school PE, I have never been an athlete. A summer of swim team is the most sport and athletic competition I have ever put myself through and while I semi-regret this (I'm tallish and could've been a rocking volleyball player/basketball superstar....ish) - it is what it is. I took piano lessons and ballet/tap/jazz. Cultured? Perhaps. Athletic? No soap.
Therefore - a race is not something I have ever committed myself to, and I'm excited I put myself up for the out-of-my-comfort-zone challenge.
Today's run - 3 miles. It was above freezing, so I ran outside and it was a good time. I even decided I would sprint anytime I went uphill - I figured I should challenge myself because I ran my "usual" route around campus.
Tomorrow night - cross training in the form of cardio kickboxing. Wish me luck- it'll kick my butt.
SUPER excited for Corey/birthday/friendship weekend. We will run together. It'll be fab.
