night running

I am an evening runner. Yes, I now classify myself as a Runner. 

I so light heartedly signed myself up for the Nike Women’s Marathon… thinking “oh, wow this is going to be SO FUN!!”  Now I have to face the consequences of having to train for this dang run because I refuse to waste $75 + the right to say that I’ve run a half marathon in hilly San Francisco.

After 5 months of practically zero exercise except riding my bike like a speed demon to class because like usual, I am running late… I have to train for this 13.1 mile marathon.

Nowadays I wake up and EVERYTHING is sore and I know that that night I have to run again. However, much as I sometimes dread the training and I would rather choose to sit on my butt, watch a rerun of Law&Order, and eat a bag of hot funyuns, I love knowing that my training is going to pay off, that one day a 10 mile run won’t be so difficult anymore, that my body will have been trained enough to be able to take on the next day’s extra miles.

consistent and applicable to many aspects of life’s journey—

   ”no pain no gain” & “What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger.”
