Saturday was my first day of training, and I have to admit it was not easy getting up at 6am on a Saturday to then drive 40 minutes to the training site and then get lost for 20 minutes, but I did and I am really happy. The energy of all the people around me was so inspiring, all different ages, ethnicity's, shapes and sizes, all there with one purpose, to support the efforts of the APLA in AIDS research and support.
I started the morning with high spirits, and then we were told that we were not allowed to wear headphones...what!!! My running mix on my cute little green ipod was all that was going to get me through this 3 mile run...what am I supposed to do now??!!! I soon found out that the same energy I felt when I first got there is what would get me through. Don't get me wrong it was insanely challenging seeing that I am not a runner, but I didn't hate it. In fact I really enjoyed it and now can't wait to run again with my group next Saturday.
Now lets be realistic, this run was not all joy, my legs are killing me and I am 99% sure I will loose some toenails,(I know, gross) but I have accepted it and I have decided to love it!
