Run Jenee Run

I have never considered myself a “runner” and I still really don’t but I have participated in several 5Ks over the past few months and I’m slowly improving. If any of you really know me, you know that I absolutely HATE running and I have never been good at it. I may have the long legs but don’t let them deceive you. I’m not really sure what has motivated me but I’m always eager to sign up for the next race. Every run I seem to knock off a minute or two and that feeling alone is just incredible…even though I know that I am way behind most of the women in my age group. I feel good knowing that I’m doing something healthy rather than sleeping off a hangover and wasting a beautiful morning.
Since my return from Afghanistan I have participated in six 5Ks and just last week I completed a 4.4 mile race on Eglin. Now I don’t plan to enter a ½ marathon anytime soon (and I think I would be ok with never entering a ½ marathon) but finishing last weeks run really felt fantastic.
