Running Update

A few weeks ago I set a goal to complete a marathon, so I thought I would give you an update. Now before you start being proud of me, I definitely haven’t done that yet… BUT I am getting back into the running game. That may not seem like a big deal, but it is for me because I am not a runner in any way, shape, or form. In fact I have not run since last year when I completed my half marathon in Moab, Utah. I haven’t been running because, honestly, I didn’t have a very good experience with my first half haha I “hit the wall” early on in the race, meaning that I ran out of physical and emotional stamina, and so I struggled to finish. After I finished and collapsed on the ground my grinning dad looked over at me and said “See Ani! Wasn’t that fun?” At that point I resolved to never run again because that wasn’t my idea of fun.

I was doing pretty well with my resolve, until... the “freshmen 15” started coming. Not running is nice, but the punishments to your body from not running are no fun at all. So that’s why I’ve made it my goal to start running again. I officially made my father sign up for the “Top of Utah” half marathon with me so I have something to work towards. Runners, here I come!
