Let me start by saying I'm terrible at running. I tell people why and use the typical excuse of having weak, frail, skinny ankles. But I run because it's good for you, I mean everyone. It decreases a multitude of diseases and health problems. So why wouldn't I be running? Because I reiterate, I'm terrible at running! My lungs ache after 5 minutes of steady jogging. I become discouraged during a break to catch my breath. But like every hobby, I should become better after practice. Let's hope so! I wan't to reach triathlon status. I wan't to tell people that I've hit 1st place in so-and-so marathon of the month. And after they would applaud me and I would feel like the man! But when people usually dream of reaching a pinnacle, it usually never happens, like never. So, I will stick to running my usual course of 5.1 km and try to beat my past times each future run. Then someday, when I feel I can handle the pain and pressure, I'll sign up for a actual marathon and that would be my version of a triathlon.
