Rec | DOING NEW THINGS JUST TO SEE IF YOU CAN

🌟

recently picked up running cause i kept hearing people be like ‘anyone can do it!! i used to hate running now i love it!’ and as an asthmatic with famously terrible endurance i was like. i don’t believe yall but i guess i’ll have to see for myself and now i’m on my second week of running and i just did my first long run. i have no other goals with this than just ‘let’s see if i can do it’ and it is SO freeing

I WENT FOR A NICE LONG RUN TODAY!

To me a long run is five miles. To some people that’s so long they can’t believe it and to other people that’s barely getting started. To me it was the perfect distance that my body wanted to move. when I started my run, I was really out of rhythm. I was going too fast, I couldn’t find the right tempo and then when I did I would approach a stop light where I had to pause and lose my stride. I was getting frustrated but then I just kept trying to remember all the times I had a really good tempo for my run! And eventually I leveled out and got there. My goal for March was to run 50 miles and I hit that pretty easily (Thank you to the weather gods). I think the best thing about running is listening to your body, appreciating what it gives you (which is different for everyone!), and seeing constant progress even if it’s small.

Running ! but not just to get it done

running has always been go-to cardio for me but I’ve never appreciated it, always just did it to say I worked out. until recently !! I decided to enjoy it and I guess that mindset switch was what I needed to not rush through it, to run through the pain, and have fun listening to my playlists, run farther. it has become rewarding in a way I never thought of running as being

Becoming an insufferable runner type

I ran a 7k and a 5k this week and I feel capable and strong and never thought I’d be one to enjoy running but it’s never too late to pick up a new activity!!!
