Speaking of lists...

So, I have this list of things that I want to do before I die. Some things are completely silly and ridiculous, some are a challenge to myself, some are dreams I sometimes forget I once dreamed... As I've been living life as an "funemployed" human being I've been thinking I should really start hammering out some of the things on the list, but alas, many of them require spending money and traveling (darn my wanderlust tendencies). However, there is one thing on the list that requires only time and well, discipline. I want to run for 7 days straight to see if at the end of the 7 days I hate running as much as I did at the beginning...

So I got up this morning and decided it was time to go for it. Its starting to feel like fall so 8am is still good running weather (in my humble opinion anything above 70 is just WAY too hot for me to run in haha) and well, I've got the time. I put on my "running shoes" aka my sneakers that aren't converse and went down the stairs. I stopped in to say hello to my neighbor and ask them not to lock me out and my wonderful friend asked me to wait 10 minutes so she could get ready and go with me. So, I sat and played with her kids for a bit and then off we went.

We ran down to Humboldt Park, walked around the park and then ran back. The run to the park was great. Its just under a mile from our door to the park and when we were about a quarter of a mile away you could see the park in the distance and I knew what I was running toward... The walk around the park was also enjoyable. I forget how beautiful it is down there. The run back was rough. It was harder to know how far we had to go and I was tired from the previous run/walk- but having my friend with me pushed me to push myself and her at the same time.

So. day one was successful and left me wanting to give day 2 a shot. We'll see what happens...
