Same time last year I ran a Turkey Trot at chesterfield Amphitheater. My first fast 5K- did it in 32 mins. This race introduced me into running and got addicted to cheering and the kick running in crowd.
Did 2 half marathons(13.1 miles) in this year….I never realized I can run that far, big thanks to my training and support from friends. When I was a kid, I always fell off by hitting my legs against each other. I am so proud of myself. The best part of running is stress busting. Heard so many times about runners high, but you got to experience it in person. That feeling of completely down at some point while running and you still push your self to cross your limits. Love the days that I run. That completely resets the brain and introduces new positive thoughts.
All I see is pro’s from running – not a single negative. All you have to do is train in a proper way and dedicate time. Your body will thank you for all you do, to keep it active and healthy. Humans are born to run, but we train it in opposite direction. Signed up for Frost Bite Series – lets see how the winter will treat my runs 🙁
My main mantra these days is – Run Baby Run & You can do it!
