2 miles

I truly was a nonbeliever in becoming a runner after being a non runner for so long.
If you would have told me in any part of my life I would be able to run 2 miles with out stopping and actually feeling good while I ran, I would have laughed in your face. I used to be a swimmer and swam I am sure over 1000 miles in my life time and felt fine but ask me to run and I would come up with an excuse as to why I could not practice.
Last night I decided to run outside as far as I could run, through out the run I was talking to myself only positively....the noise in between your ears really does make a difference. I ran the same distance that I have been walking the past two years and at the end of the run felt I had honestly accomplished something huge! I know it is not even close to the 26 miles I will be running in a marathon but it is one step closer then I have been before. Not only was I shocked that I was able to breathe normal during the run, I also could not believe the pleasure I had while running. Are you listening to me people...I said pleasure in the same sentence as I did with running! Yes, I actually enjoyed running and even after I had completed the two miles almost was upset I had stopped.
Maybe this is a new chapter in my life as I get closer and closer to turning 30, I will finally understand why people love running so much?
