Run For Red

Truman & I thought it would be fun to do a organized run together seeing as we never have. Also seeing as our whole first 1.5 years of marriage I refused to run with him. This mainly due to Truman being 6'3" and extremely athletic, and me being 5'4" and hmmm...somewhat athletic. I swear I have to take three steps just to keep up with one of his. Finally, in October he convinced me that it wouldn't be that bad if I ran with him & he would go as slow as I needed or wanted and he could even pretend to run (even though he could technically walk at the speed I'm going because of his leg stride) haha.

I've never liked running, I'd much rather do an exercise class. However I'd love to love running, and I was excited and anxious because this is the first organized run I've ever done. It was a 5K and my goal to myself was to finish without stopping. Truman and me only ever run 2 miles or a little over (and haven't been running since the gym membership in January) so I definitely was ready to start walking with the extra 1.1 miles. I accomplished my goal though and ran the whole time. Truman offered ahead of time to run with me, but I told him I wanted him to run as fast as he could and beat everyone, which he got pretty close to ;).
