something i have always wanted to do (but was too lazy to begin) is train for a mini marathon. i have always admired all of my running friends, and every time i do go for a run i always feel so amazing afterwards. it's a de-stresser for me, i have so much more energy and just an overall good feeling!
step 1: find new tennis shoes. this turned out to not be as hard as i thought. i normally HATE shopping for tennis shoes! i won't lie, the last time i bought a pair of actual athletic shoes was sophomore year of high school for volleyball season. oops.
let me clear something up though, i did buy a pair of tennis shoes 3 years ago but they were more casual. i don't enjoy the "clunky" look of athletic shoes. i guess you can say i am a little bit girly.
i honestly don't even like the look of these. oh well.
step 2: find some type of training schedule because i have no clue what i am doing, and i want to do it right. i used these 2 documents i found off some random running website. we'll see how they pan out.
5k (for dummies)
half marathon (for the "novice")
step 3: first train for a 5K, and do it right! run the whole time!
step 4: (and this is where i have already failed this morning) run. in. the. mornings....
i am by NO means a morning person. as much as i want to be, i don't think it is going to happen. i love the feeling of a beautiful indiana morning. i have ran a few times when i was in college in the morning and again, i LOVED the feelings. my day felt SO much better!
where is my self discipline? my determination?
i know it's in me somewhere? right?
tomorrow is tuesday, i am going to try this again. i'm gonna go ahead and blame it on the 5K PDF i am following. it says don't start till tuesday anyways... :)
