run more

It seems that I won’t have a real choice regarding this, come springtime. Part of a component of my physical health class is to run a mile in 8 minutes. I probably need the motivation, honestly, so that’s a good thing.

I went running around the block today. It wasn’t a great distance, but it was me actually running, so I didn’t push myself hard. As well, the weather is beginning to get nice again, which always makes me WANT to go run. I DO need to wear some better shoes, though.

So, now I need to go and actually push myself.

Not only do I need to run more just to make myself more in shape, but to generally fight the shame I’ve had about running since I was young (as in, I’m horrible and slow and was always made fun of in gym).
But lately, I’ve gotten the random urge to go running, and while it doesn’t last long, at least it’s more than before.
