R U N

I have never EVER been a runner,
and it seems like the last time I ran a mile was
in Junior High.
Thats probly not true but thats what it feels like,
when I start running after about a mile
I already feel like I cannot run anymore.
Pretty pathetic, I know.
BUT
I have a goal in mind.
I want to run the Turkey Trot,
it is 6 miles and is on Thanksgiving,
which is just over 7 weeks away.
To some people, especially my sister Laree,
who is an absolutely AMAZING runner and has ran in
2 Marathons and just qualified for Boston,
a-m-a-z-i-n-g
is, NO big deal, but to me, well lets just say I'll need
some serious training
if I really want to do it and not die.
---
I'm actually really really excited to set
a goal that seems so far from my reach,
to see if I can really do it,
and do a good job at it,
I definitely think I can if I stay dedicated.
This morning me and Nog woke up early
and started our first run...
He ran, I ran/walked for just under 3 miles.
Nog was so cute and didn't want to leave me all by myself,
so he would run a while then turn around, repeatedly.
(he ran alot more than 3 miles lets just say)
But there is something that really excites me
when I have a really good song going that
motivates me, and I run as fast as I can,
just to run with the beat.
I love it more than anything!
I told nog it felt like I was flying, haha,
and I didn't feel tired or weak until I stopped.
I'm as SOO excited about my new goal
and taking better care of myself.
So wish me luck cause I may really need it,
but I can't wait! :)
