Okay...seriously...this is slowly becoming my new 'thing'...running. Would never have thought that would have happened, but I was searching for something different finally decided to try...and it has started to snow ball from there! I am now running for about 3.5 miles at a time when on the treadmill. Finally went for my first outside - with the husband even - run last week at the park...not a great distance...but it was cold and my ears felt like they were going to fall off! I even participated in my first organized race yesterday...it was only two miles, but I did it! And in a much quicker time than I thought I would (under 20 minutes)! And I loved it! I loved the sense of accomplishment, of achievement had when I finished! Even better? I finished third in my division (now granted, since I will be...gasp!...40 in just a few short weeks, this will likely be the only time in that division)! My husband finished first in his!
And with this, actually before this, I am considering following in the husband's footsteps and while not full blown triathlon....maybe take a shot at some duathlons. Maybe. Very likely, actually. I'm ready to start signing up for some actual 5ks. Maybe even a half marathon by next year. I even went to a 'Good Form Running' clinic tonight. I tell ya...I am on a roll!
