I hate running. I think it's because I have always seen it as a punishment my whole life while playing sports. My basketball and lacrosse coaches loved to blow the whistle and have us line up and run endlessly whenever mistakes were made. So I guess you could say that I have PTSD towards running haha.
But what I did discover last fall when I started my first dietbet was that running doesn't have to be that awful. Once I get back some endurance ability, I actually found it enjoyable. The hardest part is starting. Which is what I plan on doing tomorrow morning before class. I'm not sure for how long, or how far, but I'm going to start. I know it's most likely going to hurt like hell, and I'm probably going to feel out of breath and miserable, but if not now, then when?
I found that running helped me the most in weight loss, especially when I built my endurance to withstand 7 mile runs. And once I get past the out of breath cramping feelings, I found that it's a great time to think and meditate about life.
It's gonna be awful in the beginning, but I'm ready to start the journey!
