Everything in me said, "No." It's been over a year since my feet have hit the pavement in my running shoes. I was afraid I couldn't sustain a pace. I was afraid of people watching me. I was afraid of being uncomfortable. But I did it anyway.
I will not lie. It was incredibly difficult. It was uncomfortable. The air burned my lungs and my nose was cold and runny. I had no concept of where I was along the route. All I could focus on was how I didn't know if I could finish.
I did finish - barely. I logged a little over half a mile. A far cry from the 10 I used to be able to run. My pace was slow. Barely above a walk. But I finished. And the only way to get better is to do it again tomorrow.
