What do you run for?

source

I originally started running in an attempt to lose weight.  Eventually what started as a chore became something I enjoyed.  I have more “good” runs than bad runs and Jeff & I were able to complete our first 5k. 

Tonight I was supposed to run 3 miles but cut it down to 2.  I felt guilty for cutting my mileage and mentally told myself, if I was going to do 2 miles I was going to run it fast.

2 miles in 21:47.  That’s a 10:53 min/mile pace!!

So, I started running to lose weight.  I run now to prove to myself that I can do it, faster and farther than I did in high school. 

...that’s what she said.
