So here I am on week 7 of the C25K. Two months ago I had never even heard of barefoot running but I joined without thinking twice and I'm slowly building endurance. This week is the first week the program is not getting me to do walk/run intervals. Just straight running now. 25 minutes. lol. I look at others who are just starting the program and they can hardly make it through the sixty seconds in the first week but I have to think back when that was me. And the funny thing is I am posting this on a site where people are running marathons and ultras and have been barefoot for years. I am just some young kid who read a book, kicked off my shoes and am trying to pretend I am a runner.
I keep asking people that. When do I get to say I am a runner.? I dont feel like a runner. Nor am I running distances that can't be done by some without training. Do I need to run a marathon before I qualify? Yes I know it doesn't really matter. But in the meantime I am just some girl that is working out regularily. But it feels like more than that to me. I dont want this to be somthing that I do to lose weight and the shelf until next time the weight creeps on again.I really want to keep doing this.
I really want to be healthy.
