I hate running. But I'm committed to it. This is the blog of my progress.
Mondays are weird. On one hand, my legs are rested from the weekend, I've had a few days to relax, but I also usually lack any momentum and psychologically, it's just harder to get up. Today, however, was easier to get up since I spent the weekend making a music ...

Quick check in: Running still sucks.
So, it'd been a while since I strapped on the sneakers and went for a run. I've been bad. Period. But not as bad as running is. I still can't stand it. My legs hurt today, but more of a slow, ache.
