My Red January - unlikely beginning of 2019
Well if you know me just a little bit you would know that I don't run. I do long walks, hiking, some swimming, some volleyball now and then and that's pretty much it. Running was never my thing and I pretty much have a healthy hate relationship with it.
I wake up smoothly and I had no idea what my life will look like. I am still in Morocco, brown crispy and when I read my Facebook feed I found something that made me scream of joy (I know I am so easy). My friend @redrica had posted some challenge that had a funny name, Red January. With my eyes half closed I decided to read what is all about as I happen to love the colour. Well, bad news is about making effort every day of the month, but with the aim to sustain a healthy mind (there are a bunch of studies around this). I opened my eyes wider, checked my window (Yeap full sun out there) and decided I would go for a run before heading to the airport.
I took my time to delay as much as I could the event ( long shower, long breakfast, took me ages to pack) and at a point I had no really anything else to do than to go out and move my ass by the beach.
Yes so I had in mind to run 3km, thought it would be a piece of cake. Well maybe I had to much chocolate in my dinner cake last night because I remember again and again how much I hate running. So moaning and bitching like an old lady I was slowly slowly putting one step in front of the other and tried to call it running in my head. Just before 2km my zen went completely away and I started to picture myself dying of a heat stoke. So yes I was a coward and stopped to smell the roses. I am happy with my performance as is my best run of 2019 :))
Anyway if by any chance you want to be challenged and do something important for you (maybe) see below the idea:
I do love the name, don't you?? 💖💖
I hope you join me in this crazyness and trust me you don't need to suffer. Running is not a mast. You can do something that you really like. Good luck 🍀🍀
