I don't get it.
I've tried to like it, I've tried to use it as a stress reliever, but no matter how you slice it, I fucking hate running.
It hasn't stopped me from trying, but I still don't understand it.
It hurts, I look funny when trying it, my bladder doesn't like my body moving that much...it just is plain uncomfortable!
I tried being one of those people who runs every morning and they feel good and healthy after, but usually I feel sweaty and out of breathe.
And yet, I still would like to do a 5k.
Am I crazy? Yes, I think that is pretty well established.
I think for me its more of a "look how far I've come" thing.
In high school we had to do a mile and I'm pretty sure it took me like 25 minutes.
It was embarrassing and I hated myself afterwards.
But now, I can walk a 15 minute mile, no problem!
I still want to push myself further though.
I didn't get a 5k done this year, but next year I shalt force myself!
Maybe I need a mantra, something like "Just keep running, just keep running."
I have often found running towards a goal helps. Like puppies! I will always run towards a puppy and then stop and play with it and then I forget about the whole running part.
Anyways, moral of the story, damn you running!
