An old friend of mine, after hearing about my first 5km race laughed and reminded me at how much I hated gym class in highschool. I did hate it. I admit it. But it was only because a certain huge beast of a male class mate spiked a ball and hit me square in the head and knocked me out, in a so called friendly game of volleyball between the girls and boys class one day. This boy later went on to the NFL. I was just a stepping stone. LOL!
Seems to me, and hubby will vouch, that my head is a magnet for any airborn balls. But this isn't gym class anymore. I actually like this running stuff. I do.
I have come a long way. Yesterday on my long run I tried a new route. I jogged from where I used to live as a girl past where one of my bestfriend's used to live as a girl. I used to sleep over and spend a LOT of time there. But there was always one problem. It was just toooo far for me to walk. And God forbid I had a purse or an overnight bag to carry. I would BEG my Dad to drive me everytime. Now look at me..I am jogging the same route very comfortably and continuing on another 6 0r so km's 23 years later. Amazing.
