Also, it might be the end of the world

... cause last night, I ran... right?!.. RUNNING, on a treadmill!... no one was even chasing me!

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm pretty physically fit, but running has always been one of those things for me that I have despised.  Probably something to do with middle school/high school, when we had to endure running a mile and being timed, and I was always at the end.

Not to mention that running has always been a bit boring for me.  I like classes a lot, and if I'm not doing a yoga/zumba/belly dancing class, then I'm probably going to do the eliptical for as long as it takes me to read a magazine, and then do weights... 'cause I want to be strong and toned.

Anyway, if I'm on a treadmill, I'm doing a quick walk.. not running.

But then one of the blogs I read featured this:http://www.colormerad.com/races/indianapolis.html

Right!?... and I thought, THIS I could run for.  How fun does it look!!!!  And it's in Indy on a weekend that I currently do not have anything booked.

BUT seeing that I have not run before, I thought, I need to make sure I can do this before I embarrass myself :).

And it turns out, I kinda liked running.. liked how I felt after running.  So I'm gonna try to do it again a few times this week and see how it turns out.
