Ever since I can remember I have always admired those who could run, although I never really understood why? I hated running in gym when I was a kid, and I vowed to never do it once I was done with school. I did not have have not had the desire to do so since...........Well since this past week.
I have always been a busy person. I have enjoyed working two jobs, raising a family, going back to school, and more all at the same time. This past spring my husband thought it might be nice if I take a break from doings so much all the time and stay home with the kids and take my few summer classes. I cannot complain, it has been nice not going all the time, except with chasing for my daughters traveling fastpitch games and a few additional things. The down side is that for a busybody like myself, it makes it really hard to stay focused. Yes, I find when I do not have lots to do, I begin to get discombobulated and off task.
The best solution I had besides going back to my part-time job was take up a new hobby. But what? I had no idea until.............One evening I was a bit upset and frustrated. I needed to get out of the house for a bit and decided I would take the dog for a walk. I walk her frequently. This time something was different on our walk. I decided I would give running a try and see if it helped relieve some stress. Next thing I knew, I was running and running and it felt Awesome!!!!
I had no idea how good it really felt. Now I know and understand why people run. It has many benefits and feels GREAT! Since my first run a few days ago, I have managed to run a little bit longer each time and without getting so exhausted as quickly. I cannot wait to see the changes in a few weeks.
Oh, and I cannot forget about my wonderful partner, Tawney who keeps me going strong!
Running is a very hard thing to do. I had a gym membership last year and was going quite frequently I would force myself 30 minutes on the treadmill running as much as I could and it felt great.
