Well, it’s been three days since I signed up for my first full marathon and I’m on my way. I’ve run three days in a row, at least a 1/2 mile each time without stopping. And I’ve actually been enjoying it. Considering I’ve never run more than a mile in my entire life – that’s a huge accomplishment for me.
I thought I hated running. I mean, I used to hate running. The only reason I’ve run in the past is because someone made me run. You know – like in high school fitness testing, or my husband’s boot camp. This is the first time in my life I’ve run because I want to run. Talk about a change. A welcome change.
Jim and I went to watch a friend compete in a cycling race this morning and after standing around for a while, I just started running. It was chilly outside and I wanted to get warmed up. WTF? I just started running?!? What’s gotten into me?

That’s all I have to say about that.
