Love and Hate relationship
I have a love and hate relationship with running. I actually hate running. I would much rather be doing something else. Like just kicking back and watching Heroes or BSG(Battlestar Galactica). Can you tell I’m a geek yet? But I also love running since I get a sense of accomplishment from it. Knowing that I have something within me that tells me I can run 26.2 miles. I can and will tell anyone, running a marathon is definitely a life changing experience for most people. You obtain a sense of confidence as well as comradery with fellow marathoners. I now know that I can really do almost anything I set my mind to.
Before I ran my marathon, I thought, “Me? Run a marathon? Never!” But a co-worker of mine, who has run 2 already told me, “If I can do it, you can do it!” This is what it took to convince me that I can do it. So I went online, and googled “marathon training” and this is one of the links that came up: Hal Higdon’s Marathon Training If you have never run a marathon before, he has the perfect training regiment for beginners and novices. So off I went and finished my marathon in somewhat decent time, 4:54:29. I could have been a little more disciplined with my training and this would have probably shaved about 10-15 mins off of my time, but it being my first, I think I did ok.
So this is how my running life started.
