Running

I've been running now for about 3 weeks.

And I hate it.

And also love it.

I'm pretty terrible at running and have never been an athlete.   And I hate it because every time I go, I'm convinced I'm going to die.  I'm doing the Couch to 5K program, which consists of running and walking intervals (increasing the amount you run each week).  Every running interval, I dread, and think "there's no way I will finish this!"

But here's the thing.  I never actually die.  And I finish every running interval (and could probably keep going).  I don't LIKE the feeling of running and I'm slow as dirt, but I do like feeling smug.  And running allows me to feel smug when I'm done.  And honestly, smug when I'm running and I pass anyone (even if they're walking).  I'm smug when I'm done because I didn't die.  And I managed to run.

Hopefully, I can keep this up until I'm able to run a 5K without much problem.

Stay tuned for the story of my tax appointment.
