And then he flaked on me after about 2 weeks and I kept on and am GLAD of it! BUT...I have been slacking lately and need to get back into it!

It was ultimately to say I had done one and then I got addicted.

During the entire process I swore I'd never run that far again- ever! Of course once I ran the race I was completely hooked and have been racing ever since! So I guess the moral of the story is never say never (and that running is addictive!).Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408929681739560085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-36110466818593142282010-11-04T07:37:04.739-05:002010-11-04T07:37:04.739-05:00I am all about training for races.

When I dated an ex he was a runner and I tried to run with him but this just aggravated and frustrated me and after we broke up I swore never again.<br />Fast forward 2 years I needed to get a walk in but didn't have the time I needed so I decided to run walk it and realized I didn't hate it. So I got back out just to see how far I could go, I went a mile. I had a friend at the time who wanted to do a 4miler and so I agreed to do that with her. After my first Shamrock 4miler I was sooo hooked. I signed up for 5K's for the next couple months, then another 4miler then a 10K then a 15K then at the end of the 15K met my last ex boyfriend and ran the Miami 1/2 with him and then completed the ATL 13.1 as my own and after that realized I could handle Charlotte's 1/2 in December so that's my next one.Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.com
