Pretender

I'm a pretender. I admit it.

I'm not a runner. I haven't really enjoyed running since I was on the track team in Junior High. I'm now in the pretending stage. I make myself get out and run now. I like being active and I consistently do exercise videos. I've even joined a gym a few times in my life (usually cancel due to cost more than use), but running was never my first love. I'd rather lace up my ice skates and play a hockey game than lace up running shoes.

However, over the last few years, I have completed 1 marathon and 3 half-marathons. I am training for another half coming up in September. I have finally come around to not dreading my running, but I can't say that I love it, yet. I do like what it does for my body, though.

I guess, Fake it til you make it rings true once again. I'm hoping that I will soon be able to say I enjoy running - then onto maybe 'love it'.
