Running

I decided to start running. I also decided to start blogging. There are a few problems or issues to my new resolutions. I ordered the Book, The Complete Book of Running for Woman to inspire me. I hope I read it. Last time I wanted to do something ( become a writer) I ordered a book on how to write a novel. This blog is the closest thing I have come to my great american novel. I decided you have to actually enjoy writing to write a book. I'm pretty sure I don't want to write a book. I don't even like writing. I hate running more than I hate writing. Do you have to enjoy running to become a runner? People say that running is the easiest way to weight loss. There is also some mysterious runner's high that i've heard of. If I can be skinny and high, sign me up! My friend's who run, tell me to just start RUNNING. Easier said than done. Those are probably the same friends that say just eat better and exercise and you'll lose weight. All of this is of course true, but besides the point! I also think that people that run are a little weird, like some sort of club I never was able to join. The same thing goes for blogs. Bloggers are bizarre. Sometimes I read a blog and i'm like, REALLY thats what you think??WOW. I've told a few people tonight that I'm going start running and blogging. Bloggin why?? Nobody said that about running. I guess I better buy some shoes and stop editing this blog. However, I like to stalk blogs so why not? I'm also pretty sure that blogging is going to hold me accountable for my weight loss and running efforts.

The fact that I hate running should not stop me from being in the runner's club. Here are some excuses I have used:

1) I hate running but enjoy other workouts such as walking or spinning..so I don't need to join the runner's club.

2) I can't breathe out of my nose

3) My feet are too small for my body

4) I'm not an athlete

All these are crap and no reason not to join the runner's club. If I can spin or walk I can run right? I really can breathe out of my nose just not very WELL. People without two legs become runners, no excuse. My feet are small. I'm sure there are a lot of runners with size 7.5 and 5ft 7in. I'm not an athete and according to my book you don't have to be an athlete to run. SEE my book is helping me. Here's to the runner's club! See you at the race!
