June Self-Portrait

Since I began running long distance as a freshmen in high school (thanks to my friends who convinced me I should!), I have always considered myself a runner. I ran for fun during college, and even got to run the Des Moines half marathon with my dad – the experience of a lifetime! However, since getting married and especially since moving to Kansas City, I have not made running a priority. I’ve been running oh, you know…maybe 3 times a month or so.This week I have made a commitment with myself that I am going to take on the title of “runner” again. There’s something about running in the mornings that fills my spirit with life for the rest of the day. I love it and have missed it!

So here is to becoming a runner again! Much pain ahead as I get back into my long-distance shape!

On a side note, I find it quite odd that my Garmin GPS has worked for me wherever I have lived and traveled…except Kansas City, the headquarters of Garmin! I blame it on the thick tree cover, but I even ran at Loose Park yesterday, which is fairly open, and it still didn’t work. I think I will find myself running at the park more often because I know one lap is 1.5 miles, so I can gauge my pace. Anyone else running to get in shape this season? Any races you’re training for?

Hmmm… I was thinking of doing a fitness-related self-portrait too next month, but there is no way I would have been that creative! Love this.

I started running for the first time this year. I started training in march and managed to run my first 5k at the beginning of the month. I’ve really learned to enjoy the art of running even though sometimes it is rather painful!
