30 days of running
Its no news that I've been running. I used to run in public and high school so I figured why not start again. It started out as fun and exercise but the became more of a passion. As funny as it sounds I really like running. I thought about it a lot, silly I know. The more and more I thought the more and more I ran. The simple though of a run got me excited. I was becoming run crazy! Next thing I new I ran a 10k and just kept on going. With the help of Nike running I started challenging myself. First it was to run more then it was to run further and so on and so on. I then made the decision that I would run a half marathon. Crazy to me at first but the closer and closer the day of the race got the more I knew I could do it. To train a little more and a little harder I decided to run 100k in a month. In the midst of training for my half marathon I made 100k in a month with ease. I even finished a week early! A week or so before the half marathon I bunged up my ankle. Not too bad I could still run but something wasn't right. I seemed to luck out cause at the time of the injury was my taper off period so I able to rest up a little. The rest period was just what I needed but the ankle still bothered me the day of the race and but still I only finished 5 mins off my desired time. Yeah me!
So I've continued to run but with no races in the near future I needed something to work for, something challenge me as well as continue my progress. This is how I came I with the idea of 30 days of running. Sounds easy. A run every day for thirty days, no problem. Hmmm, we'll see. Let the challenge begin.
Stay tuned.
