i think i prefer running in the rain over running in the humidity. scratch that: i think i prefer running in the rain over running in humidity. the humidity today was suffocating.
i didn't intend for this forum to sort of turn into a running blog, but the 5K training isn't an easy commitment for me. i told my husband that whenever i'm faced with something that scares me, something i'm not sure if i can complete, i crave support from others, to draw from their energy and positivity. he's the other way.. when he starts something that he is determined to finish, he needs the strength to come from within, to be the driving force.
a weird thing happens, though, before our runs. something shifts. my husband is excited and pumped, trying to rub some of his intensity onto me. and i, on the other hand, am reserved and quiet, alittle nervous, alittle unsure, trying to set my mind right. you'd think i'd want to feed off his enthusiasm (based on what i said above), but i can't. it's like i need to mentally prepare or something, and need to do that on my own.
but once we're done, we're both animated, giving each other high-fives, talking about how good it felt to finish, crossing off another workout. happy for ourselves, but ultimately for each other.
so it really doesn't matter how we got there, what method worked for each of us. the real thing is that our individual formulas are somehow working together on a grander scale.
