#17 30 Day Writing Challenge - Something that I'm Proud of

This is honestly the hardest topic I have gotten for the writing challenge, so far. What am I proud of?

I guess it's not that hard. The first thing that came to my mind was running. But I decided I didn't want to brag. But I am coming up short on ideas, so I guess I will go with that.

I have run 2 half marathons, 1 30k and I won an award for cross country at school. I haven't even been running for 2 years, yet. I started in November 2011, and then I just started training.

I am really proud of what I have accomplished. Self pride. It's not really that braggy/selfish, right? I don't care.

But I guess that is something I am the most proud of.

Recently my running stamina has decreased. I haven't run over 16km since the last half marathon I ran, in early May. I've been trying to hit the half marathon mark, but I just get so bored with running.

I used to think I prefer running slower and doing long runs, like the half marathon, 30k, and hopefully someday a full marathon. Lately it's been annoying and hard. I don't want to give up, but it's just really hard getting myself back out there, for whatever reason.

I am thinking of doing varsity cross country at my university. I probably will at first. If I get too busy or it gets too hard, I can always quit halfway through. What I can't do is join halfway through. I'll at least join at first.

Anyways. Why is it so hard to think of something to be proud about? Geez.
