It's like a Bike?

I guess I should get back onto this. I recently stopped blogging well....because I hate running right now. I know that's a strong word, I guess I'm just disgusted. I didn't hit any of my goals last year and I got injured on top of that. I am new to running so I can't stop but think why did this happen!!! I trained so hard, I sacrificed so much of my free time for this....... A few finisher medals? (I do love them btw, they are shiny ahah) So that's where im at!

Here is where I'm going:
I signed up for a 5k this weekend hoping this will change my perspective. I haven't trained or even lost an ounce of sleep over this, other than dreading its arrival. I am hopeful that I will have at least a graceful exhibition of anger and stamina to help me finish in under 30mins, which I wouldn't be terribly upset with.

My hope:

I truly hope this sport is like riding a bike. Short Story: When I was younger I got upset that no one would teach me how to ride a bike. So I took it upon myself to do it.

After many days finally I could keep the thing upright. Then, I  got the genius idea that starting at the top of our neighbor Rebecca's driveway, would sure give me a valiant start to this new way of transportation.

I started and I made it to the bottom. At the bottom......I  cut the wheel to soon, and ERRRRRRRRTTTTTT, handlebar flip!!! The entire bike punched me in the stomach, so hard I vomited. I WAS PISSED. You know....I didn't give up though. I went back to the top of the driveway and did it again, and again, and again. A few weeks later I was riding my bike perfectly, and I had trained myself.

I guess I hope Running is like riding a bike, that through so many trials and obstacles you do get stronger, and you do start hitting goals. Wish me luck! Ill see you on the field Saturday you beast!
