No matter how far I run, how many races I do, or how fast I get, I will forever be a WannaBe Runner.
Why?
To be honest, I spent so many years saying that I couldn't, wouldn't, and didn't want to run, that even after ten months of running regularly, I still am amazed I can actually do it. So much of running is mind and spirit, and I want to always remember the feeling of beginning so I can cheer for others who say "I can't". I was always one to say, "I'll only run if someone big is chasing me" and shook my head in disbelief at friends who actually ran for fun.
I did a one-eighty. Why can't you?
So in my book (and on this blog) you are a WannaBe Runner if you simply want to be one.
You may have run since childhood, or won't start till next week.
You may run slower than molasses, or be a world-class sprinter.
You may have ten marathons under your belt, or barely make it to the end of the driveway.
Do you wanna run?
Then welcome to the club.
