Please excuse my beauty and yes, that is a frown.
I used to run cross country in high school - well, I wanted to run cross country in high school and I trained all summer long before abruptly quitting once I realized - I couldn't really run that long. It wasn't my asthma that stopped me, but rather, my sheer laziness.
I want to get back in shape because my body in high school was ridiculous. But, gym memberships are too expensive and running is pretty much free. I live right next to the canal, so I can just go run there in the evening.
In a weird attempt to motivate myself, I signed up to run a 5K. So, on December 9th, I'll be running my first 5K. So far, I've heard that I'm crazy, but I'm really looking forward to it and it's great to have a goal.
