So, I'm a runner...
After slogging away at this for over 9 months now, I can say that.
Everyone talks about the high you get from running; but I think I like being able to say, "I'm a runner" even more than I like running.
OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration I'll grant you. I love the constant sense of achievement. I ran 5 miles - that's
the most I've ever run by far! And nary a few later, "I ran 10K - I didn't think it was humanely possible for me to run non-stop for over 6 miles." Plus, in addition to the mileage creeping up, the times start creeping (and I do mean creeping) down....
That's the real thrill. But saying (or writing) those words has a really nice feel to it. To me, it means I'm in shape,
it means I'm dedicated, it means I'm constantly improving, and it means I can wear these really bright ugly shoes as a badge of honor.
Throw in the health benefits, feeling better, sleeping better . . . yeah, I think I'll be sticking with this.
