Although exercise is not my forte, I know that it’s great for me, so I do it as often as I can, however i started running in college, and I haven’t seemed to be able to get out of it since then.
It’s entirely because some of my best friends are runners; My best friend, Abby, runs about ten miles a afternoon on top of her other workouts.
I’m not quite as eccentric as Abby is, however I do my best to run about three miles per afternoon. I’m not honestly sure how Abby ever talked me into it, but she somehow convinced me to take a trip to South America to run this super marathon thing with her. I couldn’t suppose it when the word “sure” came out of my mouth in response to her asking me to make the trip with her! Before my great friend and I knew it, my great friend and I were off to South America to run a marathon… Surprisingly, the marathon itself wasn’t too bad. My buddy and I both made it through pretty easily. It was, but, at the gym the few afternoons after the marathon that honestly got me. My appreciation for air conditioner grew largely during those afternoons… For some reason, they were totally against running air conditioners at the gym my great friend and I attended, and it was literally one of the worst experiences of my life, and working out is difficult enough on its own without adding a ninety-five degree room to it. By the time my great friend and I got back to the U.S. I was so excited to workout in an air conditioned room that I went straight to the gym right after I left the airport.
