After the movie The Bucket List came out a few years ago I decided to make my very own bucket list as well. If you haven't watched the movie is is about two men who are dying of cancer who make a list of all the things they want to do before they "kick the bucket." I wrote all the things I want to do in life from little things (bake a cake from scratch) to big things (see all seven natural wonders of the world). Another item on my list was to run in a race. I know that there is no better time then the present and a few weeks ago I began running.
When I first was writing my Bucket List and I watched my very own fingers type the words "Run in a Race" I felt like I was having an out of body experience. I used to be a firm believer that you are only to run if you are being chased by a man with a crazy mask who is carrying a chain saw; but for some reason though I want to be a runner. I am so envious of the people you see running is a race because you know they made up their mind, set a goal, and are accomplishing all of that hard work and I want to feel that feeling.
I am making great progress in my opinion. I have gone from loathing running to looking forward to the feeling I have after my run is done. I really enjoying the peaceful time I am enjoying in the outdoors while I am running. I continue to run a little bit further with each run and plan on signing up for my first race for this fall. I want to make this a life long hobby and create another passion for myself and be able to cross something else off of my "Bucket List!"
