Running a marathon is a goal in which many runners strive to attain. Spending months and months of doing training runs in order to build a good base to finish the 26.2 mile punishment. Not many people can say that they have finished a whole marathon, only a dedicated few. Well today I went to my first marathon and well.... I did not run it lol....I am not crazy!!! lol
I have always said that I hated running, I have never been good at it. I take horribly short steps, my ankles hurt, my back becomes tense and for some reason I can not control my breathing. I'm just like a fat kid grasping for air when I run...plus when ever I do run it is usually at a track and it is not always the most fun filled experience. Well I know that all I need is training and miles on my legs to get on the ball, and it is something that I can do. I have alway had that fear of not wanting to. Well I'm gonna make a commitment to my buddies that next year I will be running out there with them. I will at least take a leg of the relay and make it worth the run. Not gonna say I will run a marathon anytime soon but who knows...
Today I went to support Cindy, Billy, and Sergio as they attempted the Mixed Relay Marathon, where each one would take a leg of the marathon and hand the baton off to the next runner.
