As a fan of Star Wars—not of running—I cautiously agreed. We made it back the following January to run the Star Wars 10K and afterward set a goal to run a race every month leading up to our wedding in December. I guess that’s how I became a runner.

Those days make me realize that 16-year-old me was on to something. It’s okay to hate running, or least some things about it, or at least sometimes—because if you love it enough to keep on doing it, it’s not always going to be fun.
