I was never the running type. When I was in college, I would occasionally run a bit, but that was about it. Whenever I would get into running, I would push it too much and burn out after a couple of weeks. That’s why it’s odd that I have become such a big running advocate, but it has seriously changed my life.
A SAHM doesn’t often get the opportunity to prove herself and accomplish goals, and I think we can have a tendency to abandon that part of ourselves. Running gave that back to me. It is proving to me that I can do anything I put my mind to it – even the most unlikely of goals. If I can do it, anyone can.
What is a goal you have had that you haven’t pursued lately? What is one thing you never thought you could accomplish? Why not go for it?
I love to run and just recently started to get back into it. I used to run back in high school and some in college. I started to train for a marathon once but never finished the tranining and did not run the marathon. One goal I have is to train and run a marathon next year.
