Kendall's Thoughts about Running

Why did I decide to do this again? Ever since I can remember I have hated running. I guess I wanted to choose a real challenge for myself to see if I have the will to overcome it. I'm sure it will take some time before I enjoy this and am seeing the results, but here are my top complaints:

1. Time passes very slowly when I run. From the time I leave my apartment to the moment I get back, it takes LESS than 20min. WHAT??! How is that possible?? I am almost positive an eternity and a half passed while I was huffing and puffing down the road. Which brings me to my next complaint:

2. Running is boring. Even being outside, I am constantly thinking "Is this over yet"? I wish there was an autopilot function for my brain. I'm thinking I might download some Books on Tape for my ipod..

3. Running is competitive. Now, don't get me wrong, I love a competition as much as the next person. I just don't like it when I am destined to lose. I'm still a beginner at this, so naturally I move at a snail's pace, but every time I meet another runner on the road it is a contest whether it means to be or not. One runner is always faster than the other. So, in my case, I get to watch the other person pass me, and disappear into the distance. When will it be my turn to leave somebody else in the dust? :)

Okay, had enough complaining?

Thanks for reading!
