I think I want to try to run a 5 or 10k. I know this may not seem like much. I think it converts to about 3 or 8 miles. Not an enormous athletic feat for the average person, probably. But, I am still sitting on the fence about whether or not I should commit to it. I may be running now, but I still run with intermittent walking when I need to catch my breath. I still have sore and painful joints and muscles after jogging around my neighborhood. It takes, at the very least, 4 days for my body to heal in between runs. It is hard. The fact that it is hard, makes me want to set my sights on something that I never thought I could do; to run in some kind of marathon, even if it’s just a 10k. I will have to train better and work harder at getting consistent exercise. I will have to be better about managing my pain. I will have to get better sleep, and I will have to spend more of my energy focusing on just myself. Will my family survive it? J
I hope to be ready to run a 10k in the early summer time. I hope I can find a 10k that is taking place around that time, here in Arizona. I hope that I can put myself above the daily grind and needs of my family.
I mostly hope that I can stop oscillating and just commit to doing it.
No Excuses.
I’m gonna do it!
