Running

My parents have lately talked me into doing cross country. Ok so they bribed me with a cell phone. I have actually found out that I enjoy running alot. I'm not good at it but I like it. I will write lots more about running soon. It will be my next post but there is a point to this one. If you don't like running try it anyway. There are lot's of rewards (other than getting a cell phone I mean) I hav only gone on three runs with easier workouts in between and I'm already seeing myself improve alot. It's because The first official workout I did I really wanted to do good on because I know myself and if I did bad I just wouldn't try and then I would just look stupid when the cross country season came. I have allready improved by seven and a half minutes! Within three runs! I know what you are thinking. "I can't even run one whole mile." Well, that's the good thing about cross country! You just try to work you'r way up and theres really no preassure to run the whole thing. In my first work out what I did was; when I felt tired I just thought "Okay, now if I just finish this lap instead of stopping right now I will be that much happier with myself." Then I did finnish the lap and I realized that it really wasn't that bad so I said "Well I can even run another lap!" and I did. Then I did it again. Before I knew it I had finnished jogging my first whole mile! Then after that I rotated walking and some jogging for another mile. All I had done was jog/walk on a treadmile for about 33 and 1/2 minutes and I stepped off the treadmile with loads more confidence and determination than when I had gotten on! Yesterday I chose to run outside for the first time. I ended in 25 min. and 57 seconds! Two miles! Running is alot less complicated than it would seem. Just give it a try.
