Since I turned 40 @ the end of May I decided I would start running. First, it was for the fitness. I had become extremely sedentary. Then I set a goal of running the Flying Pig Half Marathon in May 09. The amazing thing that has come out of the last few months of pounding the pavement isn't fitness or goal setting but how much I enjoy running. Even stranger, is the harder the run the more I enjoy it (after it is done). For instance the run I did this last week, a simple 4.7 miler that has a 1 mile vertical climb, ATE MY LUNCH! The first time I tried it I literally got sick and had to walk. The next time I was able to make it all the way with my lunch in tact.
It is funny how our natural default is ease, nevertheless there is nothing more satisfying than an all out challenge.
