Soon I'll be a runner...

One of my New Years Resolution this year is to become a runner. Some of you may know that I HATE RUNNING. Literally despise it. I have never run more than 2.5 miles....yes, that is merely the Beartrail, once. I can power walk like the dad in Malcolm in the Middle all day long, but running?! Here is what usually happens:

1. I think I'm gonna go running.
2. Here I am...at the Beartrail...I can do this.
3. Start running...oh no I'm going too fast...can't. breathe. suffocating. body. aching.
4. Slow down...stop running...thank goodness...that was miserable.

BUT I WILL CHANGE!!! I'm gonna run the Bearathon. Yep, I'm gonna do it! I will cross "run a half marathon" off my bucket list!!! 

Today I ran almost 2 miles. I ran really really slowly. Poor Ben, he really should run ahead of me and leave me in the dust. He won't. And he won't let me stop either. The other day we ran a mile and I was DYING. I literally almost cried haha and he wouldn't let me stop!! I was whining like a baby: 

Me- "Ben PLEASE let me stop I can't BREATHE!!!" 

Ben- "No. You're going to finish this. You can do this!"

Me- "I CAN'T, I HATE YOU!!!" (I don't really hate him. I'm just dramatic.)

He made me sprint at the end too. Meany. I guess that means he's a good trainer though....

Anyways, if anyone else wants to run the Bearathon JOIN THE TRAIN!!! I'm really excited. I think I'm going to feel really accomplished :) Happy New Years! I can't wait to see all the things that this year holds.
