The Beginning of a New Chapter

I hate running! That's right. I hate it. Regardless of my distaste in this form of exercise I plan to sign up for the 5k Komen race and the 3m half marathon in January. Why am I doing this? Is it for the benefits gained afterwards? Better sleep, more energy, keeps me awake. The benefits are endless. Although these points are valid, my calling is much higher. I want to push my body where it hasn't gone before. I can't fathom doing a half-marathon. It's just down right crazy. That's why I'm doing it. To prove myself wrong! :) So far I've ran 2.2 miles once last Friday morning. Getting up in the morning is a pain I need to make a habit of. Tomorrow I plan to hit up the town lake trail and in the wee hours of the morning. Wish me luck.
