Training

Back in junior high, I would've NEVER have imagined that I would be at the point that I am at now! Remember doing cross-country runs? Remember the people who would always come in last? That was me! I'm totally not a built athlete (asian, and I wasn't breast-fed...didn't stand a chance!) I hated running and was never interested in it!

It was not until last year that I started taking it more seriously (i.e. actual outdoor-world running and not treadmill). Thanks to my cousins (Priscilla, Sam and Keefe). They got me excited about doing 5K runs and entering runs for charity over the summer and then actually doing a 10K run! After I survived that, I started thinking bigger...a half-marathon (I take baby steps). Not quite a full marathon but who knows, if this half-marathon doesn't kick my ass...maybe I'll consider it?!

Good job Nat, don't write youself off as not an anthlete... you're more of an athlete than me right now and I was breast fed... I think... mom?

Great Ty, now that you've mentioned the word "breast", this site is now classified as NSFW by my employer's IT department!

Great run on Monday Nat, you are totally an athlete... or at least very good at pretending to be one!
