Well I guess it's just one of those things I go through every so often; I've officially started working out again after recovering from the ankle injury. I started again on Thursday, and already I have discovered so many other people trying to get in shape to run in the Piglet (half Pig) I think I'm going to join in. It's one of the funnest road races I've ever been a part of anyways, and with so many of my friends participating together it should be a blast again this year. Unfortunately for now it means going running, every day, which sucks. People say that runners have a love/hate relationship with the sport, and nothing could be truer. I've never even been a good runner, but even I can tell you the days when you run and you just "have it" are worth putting up with so many days like today where I don't have it at all. I went out with a buddy who's already in shape today, and it was just embarrassing. We ran SLOW and I was dying and he was just chatting it up wondering why I was struggling so much. In spite of his jokes it is really encouraging to run next to someone. There's just something about not doing it by yourself that makes it easier to get up the next hill or stay focused on the finish line. Alas in running as in life. So for now, I suck again, but with some training, and the help of some friends, by the Pig I'll be ready to go. Good luck to everyone else who is participating!
