i think i can, i think i can.........

I added another brick to my load. If you know me at all, or have read a blog prior to this, you know that I prefer my plate full......maybe pilled in fact. I had decided that I needed to add something to my load this fall that was just for me. I needed some time dedicated to doing something that let my mind leave school and work, also leaving me positive at the end of it. I realize I may not have a lot of time for adding to my schedule, but I have always had success in making time once it is added. So, I joined a running group. I am not a runner by any stretch of the imagination. I wish I was though. I have always had envy for those who could just go and run for an hour and feel great after. I seem to lack endurance, breath, technique and motivation. All 4 seem to be required for success. This group meets for an hour, twice a week, where we train, set goals, learn technique and build up endurance to be able to run the full meet time at the end of 8 weeks. I am very excited !!! My goals are layered....as a little complication is fun, but at this point I would like to be able to run to school (uphill 20 min) and to continue 3 times a week on my own after the course ends. I will keep you updated on my running progress.
