Ok, so it really is nothing to brag about. It's not like I ran a marathon, or even a half marathon, or even a 10k. It was a measly 5k. But it was my first and I was proud. My mom convinced me to run in the Smithfield Health days run and I did it. I finished it without stopping and averaged a 10.5 min mile which I felt pretty good about! I have never liked running. In fact I remember the timed mile in junior high as the one day I dreaded gym class. I never could imagine how anyone could run for fun! Then I became a mom. I love being a mom. However, it can be somewhat of a stressful endeavor. Some mornings I just need to clear my head. There is nothing quite like watching the sun come up over the mountains and not hearing anything but your favorite list of work out songs on your ipod and your feet hitting the pavement. No one is asking for anything, no one is whining, no one needs you....except yourself....I actually enjoy running!! (3 miles at a time that is:) I'm not sure I will ever run much further than that for fun, but hey...its a start!
