I hate running. Especially for no reason other than to run.
However, in preparation for the five summits challenge, I have taken up running over the past 3 weeks. For me it has been a challenge both physically, to be fit enough, as well as the mental motivation to do something which I have always disliked.
I woke up this morning after 3 hours of sleep to go do my first 10km run. Due to bouldering the day before, I woke up with a sore back and calves.
Contrary to most 'cute' stories, it was very challenging, and I almost gave up after 7km.
But once I completed it, it was certainly rewarding to know that I can push my self.
My current aim is to complete a half marathon by Mid-January. That's half way.
