The missus and I went for a 5k run over the weekend with a big group. Jumping into a 5k might not have been the smartest move considering we both haven’t been working out at all since my parents left, but it reminded me how good I feel after I exercise. This probably doesn’t mean I’m going to become a regular runner because I know myself. If they keep running this event, I’ll gladly attend again or even try out new events. But, running by myself with no one to pace me is not fun for me. It was the same when I swam. When I was on a team and my coach was screaming at us to finish 1km, no don’t touch the lane lines, and stop taking breaks on the wall, I was very motivated to keep going. When I’m alone in the lane or with casual swimmers, I’m more than happy to stop when I lose focus or I pass the person in front of me for the fourth time.
Boy do I hope that this is one thing that can actually sustain itself. We lost our usual social outing when the Korean language meetup folded, so it would be nice to have something to fill that gap.
