I started keeping a running journal, which, ok, I don’t just journal. It has to look like this. I have just as much fun making it pretty as I do going out for runs to write about. It’s been a good way to stay motivated and track progress. I have been having so much fun with both the running and the journaling. Wouldn’t have dreamed it possible years ago. Back then I ran, but not because I loved it. I ran because I had to do SOMETHING, and I couldn’t think of anything better to do. I never really enjoyed it. But I don’t know, something this time around has been different. It feels like play. Even though I’m still way far away from my goal of running a whole 5k, I’m having so much fun practicing anyway. There are so many other things to love about it. Who knew?
