running

It has been very sudden, I have always hated running. And then last month, at the very beginning of September I started running with my friend Danielle. The idea was in my head for a while (I had tried before) but it really only started 7 or 8 weeks ago. In the last few weeks running has made me stronger -even if it is sometimes very hard. I ran my second race (5K) last Saturday. I did it alone as Danielle was getting married that afternoon. It was very hard and I really wanted to give up from the very start. There was this one hill and this little boy ringing a bell on the side of the road. I thought to myself "I will run as long as that little boy rings his bell." He never stopped. I thanked him and continued running.
If I can continue running, then I can also do other hard things. Things I did not suspect I could do even 8 weeks ago.
