After an extended, shall we say, hiatus from anything resembling physical activity (unless running errands counts), I've decided it's time to get moving again.
Well, here’s the thing. It’s not some deep, life-changing epiphany. It’s also not for health reasons (though, probably it should be). The cold and brutal truth is, people who were once weaker than me are now way stronger than me.
And I simply cannot have that.
And honestly? That was all the motivation I needed. Haha!
I'm kidding. Or maybe not.
So yes, I've been running for a month now. Because what better way to handle a midlife crisis than by lacing up some running shoes? I am also hoping to run a full marathon (42k) when I turn 42. Mostly so I can justify all the expensive running gears I will be buying. Crossing my fingers I can stick to this lifestyle for two more years.
And yes, I'm declaring this publicly so it's less likely for me to back out. I also dragged Jan into this.

In other news, we’ve officially jumped into a new sport. Dragon boat racing!
I’ve been doing my best to avoid the sun (gotta keep those wrinkles at bay), but for some reason, I’m always drawn to activities that revolve around it. Football, hiking, and now this. Training’s underway, and if all goes well, we’ll be hitting the waters for a competition in the last quarter of this year.
That's all! This petty, pretentious, and vainly competitive girl is off to another run.
