Well, I still don't like running, but today I decided I had to do more than usual. Normally I run around 5km (3 miles) but I also know that if I want to get better at running, I have to try more every once in a while. Today was one of those days. I was supposed to get up in the morning and run but just didn't "feel it" so I stayed in the comfort of my bed. This afternoon after doing some housework and computer work, I decided I had to make something of the beautiful weather. (It wasn't too warm but at least the sun came out to play for the first time in days!)The result: a personal best 9.44km run (let's not get technical now, mind you!) in 50 minutes. I started on my normal path, but decided to just keep on going. And going. And going. And eventually turn back towards home, but take a longer route. And sometimes I stop with about a kilometer to go, and walk the rest of the way home to "cool down" but today I just kept going. Stopped when I got home. I coulda kept going, actually!!! But I was tired. Anyways, praise the Lord for legs to run with, and (somehow, miraculously) the discipline to run despite it being "the holidays" and wanting to be lazy!
やった！ジョギングを始めて半年になってますが、今までの最長距離は７キロぐらいだった。今日はなぜか止まりたくなかった。いつものルート（まぁ、４つぐらいあるけど、その一つ）を走って行ったら、まだまっすぐ行きたい！まだまっすぐ行きたい！ここ曲がったら迷い子になる！ということで結局9.44キロを走った。時間は５０分だったので、次の目標は。。。１０キロを５０分以内に走ることです！月ごとに新しいグッズを褒美として買ってるので、けっこう真剣なジョッガーに見えるけど見せかけだよ！まだ全然速くないし、体力まだつけてないし、ランナーの体系じゃない！けど新しいグッズを買えば買うほど楽しくなってるし格好付けで自信もついてくる。かといってジョギングが好きってわけじゃないよ（笑）
