Catch Slow Running Fever!
Some of my favorite running phrases are ones that have to do with speed….since I have a lack of speed!
“Some girls chase boys, I pass them!” —- ha, not so much. I’m slow.
“Slow is the new fast.” — only because I can’t be fast.
“Thanks to me you have someone to pass!” — a truer statement will never be spoken.
“I run like a girl, try to keep up.” — yeah, I can’t wear this one either.
** by the way, these great sayings can be found at OneMoreMileRunning.com, along with a bunch of others.
Who knew when I took up running I’d actually stick with it. Go figure — how did that happen? I had a lot of excuses to bow out…and somehow I didn’t. I’m not used to that, and I’m left scratching my head. I fell down some stairs (and YES! I’m STILL having tailbone issues, but I run anyway)…I had 3 colds, a stomach flu – and I keep going. I’m not really sure who I’ve become – other than – a runner. Hmmmm, not sure why or how – but I’m still moving.
I’m heading down to participate in my first 1/2 marathon soon and I have to say – I am not sure what I’m more excited about. Reaching for my goal, or the fact that I haven’t given up yet. It’s a neat place to be in and one I’m not used to seeing. I like this new me….the one who doesn’t give up.
By the way, my race is in Disney. Glad I won’t be running THIS race…it had to be about the worst run race I’ve ever read about!
Anyway, I’ll see you on the flip side and let you know how it goes. All things willing, I’ll have access and be able to toss a post up somewhere along the way. See you on the flip-side!
