I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment when I finish a race. I enjoy a good runners high. But for me none of this happens during the process only after I am done running. Granted during my half marathon the parts that were in the part to start with were AMAZING!! I actually enjoyed that run. And I guess maybe that should be my goal. I need running to be fun. Like the first Warrior Dash that started this whole thing. That was slow but so fun! I want to be able to go do a 5K and not worry about feeling like I am going to die. Heck I would really like to be able to run at a nice slow pace a whole 5K. I've always been a walk run person.
But I am also into my weight training with the 21 Day fix. Man do I love lifting! But even though lifting gives me a great feeling of accomplishment right away it isn't quite the same and finishing a race. Dare I say I've been looking at races and I've almost registered for a few but always back out. I want to do another race at Disney SO BAD!! Chad said he will run 10K's with me but not a half. and I am like well if I am running the 10K one day and do the half the next then we get more medals. LOL!!
I am thinking I will start very small with runDisney's Virtual Running Shorts for this summer. It comes with 4 medals if I do all 3 5K's one in each month (June, July and August) I can do them on my own at my own pace and even on my treadmill if I need to. My goal will be to get faster with each one. I am decided this is my plan! It will be an easy way to ease back in to running and give me a goal for each month. I have to submit my info to them before they will send me my finishers medal each month.
So there you have it, I guess I am going to start running again. *GULP*
I'll do the running shorts with you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan! I am registering tomorrow on payday for all 3 of them!
