I actually love to run - no that's wrong, I love the feeling I get when I am done running... the accomplishment and soreness and overall "I worked it" sort of feeling. I was totally that kid in middle school who didn't think they could run too. I would love to run now. But I have bad knees, like really bad. Like I had major surgery to repair one of them and I would really rather not ever do that again for the other. So elliptical it is. But I need to get back to it. <br /><br />Also, your kiddo and my kiddo need to trade sleep schedules. I am up that early anyway because of teaching that LOVELY zero hour. I am blessed with a good sleeper - and if we want to be serious about it I actually would really rather keep my girl's sleep schedule but I want your boy to sleep better too! ;)Kayceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469960707724284744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-984096289771837452011-11-22T21:56:12.992-08:002011-11-22T21:56:12.992-08:00Every time I run a fast mile or run a personal dis...Every time I run a fast mile or run a personal distance record...I'm still amazed. I used to hate running and it used to really mess my ankles up...but now I'm so addicted and can't imagine life without it. when you do train for a half marathon, you're going to rock it!!!Corrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491213912278655711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-26834319547374087342011-11-22T20:26:38.641-08:002011-11-22T20:26:38.641-08:00YES!

I spent my whole life thinking I CAN'T run, which was partly true for all the health problems I had as a kid...but when I was suddenly cleared of the health problems that held me back, I still didn't want to believe I could do it. And, part of me was afraid too - afraid of not being able to breathe (asthma will do that to you) and afraid of failing - of setting out to run a mile and not being able to do it - and afraid of looking like a fool. Pretty silly now that I think of it, because any person I see running, regardless of whether they're just starting out or can run a 5 minute mile, makes me stop and think - "wow! look at them running." and it never once crosses my mind that they might be thinking "what am i thinking? i can't do this? i must look like a fool." Because all I see is a runner, no matter how slow, no matter how new, they are a runner. And that is what I am - and I am pretty darn proud of it. :) And, I never thought I'd LOVE it so much. Also, gym class was most definitely dumb. And, TEN MILES!!!

And *NOW* look at you, Erin! You are a runner. I've never run 10 miles without knowing I was going to run 10 miles. You freaking rawk. I'm so proud of you and so incredibly jealous. <br /><br />I always question my sanity of getting up way too early on a weekend day just to run. But in the last two months I've missed it so much. I can.not.wait to get the all clear to go ahead and go for a run.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304497617228725441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-15844269435179574702011-11-20T18:59:57.544-08:002011-11-20T18:59:57.544-08:00I am so freaking proud of you.
