Many the Miles

Can we all just take a moment of silence for those injured at the Boston Marathon today? If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can read this.

Thanks :)

That being done, today I want to blog about something I hate: running. Wait, hate? I can see where you might be confused because I run at least twice a week, but yes I hate running. Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic exercise and there is something to be said for the feelings of accomplishment that come with it. But in all honesty, this water bottle sums up how I feel about running.

What I really don't understand is all the people out there who say they run because it's relaxing and stress-relieving, yada yada yada. Relaxing? I can think of 100 other things I would do to relax. I can see stress-relieving, if you've had a bad day and just need to be alone with your thoughts but not relaxing.

Bearing all that in mind, I hit a pretty big milestone yesterday. I ran my 200th mile since I started turning my life around last June. I can honestly tell you that is something I never expected to say. I'm pretty gosh darn proud of myself.

 So where do I go from here? Onward! I'm running a Spartan Sprint in two weeks and then I plan to sign up for the Big Ten 10K in July. After that my goal is to run a half marathon! Preferably in Disney World, but that is hella expensive. I need to find me a sponsor haha! If you're interested in donating to the Run Lauren Run fund...well, I'll need to start a fund then!


As always, thanks for reading!
