Dear pavement - A nonrunner's running NSV!

Dear pavement,
When we first met, I hated you. You made me cough, turn red, and generally feel like I was dying. I could handle you for about 30 seconds before throwing in the towel. Well not today, my friend. Today, I set out to take you on for a whole 5 miles, 1.5-2 miles longer than my usual runs and the longest I had ever done. And you know what? Not only did I take you on like a champ (a very slow champ but a champ nonetheless) but when I got back, I decided that 5 wasn't good enough and I kept running, past my house! 6.08 miles in 61:30 - take that, pavement! The longest and furthest I have ever run in my life.
So when I encounter other nonrunners, I will encourage them to keep going, because you know what, pavement? You're not so bad after all.
See you on Tuesday for our next date,
