If you know me at all, you know that the words "fun" and "run" don't occur in the same sentence. I HATE running...always have and thought I always would. But I am surprised to say that this running thing might not be so bad. Now don't get too excited, I have only been "training" (and I use this word loosely...) for a few weeks and I have only run 1 mile at a time, but it's more than I ever have before.
Today, my friend Wendy and I (and several other friends from school) completed the 1 mile Fun Run in Kinston. And I have to say, it was actually fun and energizing and played into my competitive spirit quite nicely. My overall time was just under 10 1/2 minutes...not great, I know, but better than it was when I started!
I don't think "I'm hooked" ... I don't think I'm going to train to run marathons...but I do think I'm going to keep this up. I wouldn't mind doing another fun run or even a 5 k in the future. We'll see and I'll keep you posted.
