So, complete the Sun Run I did! (And with a reasonable time to boot). When I ran with music, suddenly the script in my head was no longer “I hate running, I hate running, I hate running,” but was instead a medley of musical delights. My main motivators were: 1) an overwhelming fear of failure (an approach I wouldn’t really recommend) 2) a desire to improve my health and 3) music. Yes, I discovered that the right soundtrack made all the difference. I admit that is a little illogical, but the human mind is unpredictable.
Though I had managed to survive a 5 day, 75 km hiking trip, I was nonetheless absolutely daunted by the idea of running 10 km. But one day, in a moment of ambitious self-improvement, I decided I would enter the Vancouver Sun Run.
Historically, runs were a time for me to reflect on how much my legs were hurting and wonder when the elusive runner’s high would kick in. For the first 27 years of my life, running was a task I only did under threat of a poor grade in gym class. Who here hates running? I certainly used to.
