New Skill

Have you ever noticed that there are somethings that you need to learn or do when your young. Now I know I'm still pretty young, but for example I will never be a ballet dancer because I'm too old to start learning how to stand on my tip toes. That leads me to what skill can I learn now... running. I have never been a fan of running. At times I think what is the point of running. At least with other sports you get to score points. One of my really great friends Miss Hernandez loves running, and has really inspired me lately. I really do think that running is a skill, and you have to learn how to run and most importantly learn to love it. As I was thinking about running and this new skill that I want to learn I thought that to do this I would need a goal. Here is the goal:

RUN A MARATHON

Holy Cow a marathon... I'm not saying tomorrow I'm going to get up and sign up for a marathon. I need a plan. I have been doing some research, and there are all these different methods to begin running. A really popular on is couch to 5k, but I just wanted something really simple to get me started. I was looking on pinterest and came across this really great plan:

So I started running this morning. I got up early thanks to my sister calling me and waking me up, and did my first run for week one. I did the 20 min. run for 40 mins. I walk/ ran 2 miles, and feel really good. I think it is a start, now don't get too excited I still don't like running.

Now I have a plan and I kind of have a goal, but I still need to work on a few things:

1. Pick a Marathon
2. Choose when to run the Marathon
3. Eat better (I haven't have Coke in like 4 days!!)

Those are main steps that I need to do next. Tomorrow I'll tell you about some neat products that I have found for my new skill.
