Congrats on becoming a runner!! I can't wait to get to the same point as you and what an inspiration you are!
I just started the C25K and tomorrow is W3D1. I'm on my way to becoming a runner too! I just haven't made it to the point yet where I can enjoy it yet as I'm concentrating too much on the running part.
I like your blog colors and font, it's really clear and clean so it makes it a nice read.
@elvislover - Congratulations on taking on the C25K challenge! I've read quite a lot about it, and I think that it is a fabulous way of getting into running! Just hang in there - you will get there soon and you will know what the hype is all about and start enjoying it more! And thanks about the blog! It took me forever to decide on the font and stuff Lol.
I've always wanted to be a runner. I see a lot of runners in my neighborhood and I just love watching them run, but I've always sucked at running.
But becoming a runner was one of my resolutions for 2013. I signed up for a 5k in September (plus the Color Run in August) and I recently started C25K too. And I'm enjoying it! Granted, I'm only on week 2 so I haven't done that much running yet, but still, I'm always looking forward to my runs. Having a goal of an actual race in September is really helping with my motivation.
Great post!! I love reading positive things about running. So many people are so negative about it.
It's definitely about processing time for me - but not necessarily thinking through negative things. Sometimes it about feeling strong and powerful despite what life is throwing at me that day. Sometimes it's about feeling sexy - being aware of my abs tightening to help my stride or the way my hips move or just thinking about the result of the weight loss. But the best ones are the ones where I get antsy and anxious and then get out there and just "run away." It's the ultimate anti-anxiety drug and mood booster. I feel so in control and capable.
It's hard - it requires a lot of focus to push through a new distance or speed. I like that focus because it pushes everything else out. When I push through I get a new high and then I just float. I get lost in the run and everything else just goes away. I only get that from running - the endorphin rush and peace doesn't come from anything else that I've found.
Why I love to run
