run or dye/die
Monday, April 08, 2013Die...definitely die.
I'm not a runner. I quite dislike the activity. I'm the girl who took power walking as my kins course in college.

The girl who probably looks like this when she runs:
So why did I sign up for my first 5k, Run or Dye?? Well, I told myself I would live this year to the fullest, try new things, and take risks.

It's getting easier, but my God it's tough for me. I admit that I usually give up on things that are hard or make me uncomfortable, but I reaaaallly want to see this through. (The upside of this run, however, is you aren't timed. :))
But last but not least, I get to have a great time with friends and end up like this:
Anyone else trying a new activity/exercise?
