I've decided to become a runner. I know. What's happened to me? I've never liked to run because of the muscle disorder I've had since I was little. Running just always hurt me. But now I think one of two things could happen, both of which I can deal with. One, my muscles continue to hurt when I run. Two, I find out I can condition them not to hurt when I run. Either way I'll be okay. So why not?
I went to www.runnersworld.com for some guidance. I found a little smart coach feature that will custom fit a schedule for your particular fitness level and motivation. By the end of the year I want to run a half marathon. I've looked around and can't find an official run in the Bay Area around Christmas time, so it might just be a route I make up and have my family cheering for me at the end. :)
There are so many motivations for being healthy, thin, or whatever else our goals might be. I don't just want ot be cuter (although that will be great). I don't just want to be more confident. I don't just want to prove to myself I can do something really, really hard. I want to bring my body and spirit into a kind of harmony they've never experienced before. I want my spirit to make the decisions and my body to glorify them. Does that make sense? I want my entire soul to be healthy.
So here goes ... something!
