Every once in awhile I will have a dream that I'm running. I will actually stop to think in my dream..."Hey, I'm running" and then just continue on like its no big deal. But the sad reality is that I really can't run. Oh, I've tried over the years and even deluded myself that I could be on my high school track team. But the truth is... if you offered to pay me $1000, I still couldn't make it down the street.
What sucks most... is that I really truly would love to become a runner. I love watching people on the river walk who run for miles... they look so peaceful. I want to become one of those people. I've tried those programs where you walk and then run then walk again. The entice me with the title "Couch potato to 5K". I have even attempted it once, heck one time I even dragged Chip out there. But then come on the shin splints and my arch hurting... every excuse I can think of and which makes it easy for me to quit.
This morning I got to work and saw some fitness article on my e-mail (yes, that is also another goal, to get fit). I remembered awhile back I had posted a question to one of these running websites and after 5 weeks I decided to actually follow up on it (can you sense my level of motivation?) And I don't even remember why I decided today would be the day, but I feel so determined to actually do this. And now you can follow along with me in my journey. My name is Danielle and I'm a wanna-be-runner.
