I am the least athletic person ever. I did track once in fifth grade, and I still have a ribbon that says that I got 72^nd out of 80 runners. I think working out is the absolute worst. However, I, like everyone right now, am trying to get a “summer body.” This is very tough for someone who hates physical activity, but it is practically already summer, and my love handles are still clinging on for dear life. I decided I would try to run more, and some bonus information, I am getting good at it. Although, just because I am able to run a little further or faster still does not mean I like forcing myself to run at least three times a week. Every time I go for a run, these are my thoughts.

1. I hate running.

Plain and simple: I don’t want to do this. I would much rather be doing anything else on my extensive to-do list than to be running around or locked up in a crowded gym. Why am I doing this to myself?

2. This song is ruining my vibe.

What is this? Old school Taylor Swift? I need a better beat like Avicii or something. Also, my phone is at 8 percent. If my phone dies, and I can’t listen to music, I’m going to be aware of my thoughts and how much I hate running. Not a good situation.

3. It is too hot.

I’m sweating, and the sun is going directly in my eyes. Ugh, and I forgot water. Might as well be in the Sahara desert.

4. Why does my body hurt?

Am I not running correctly? Do I need to stretch? Do I need more potassium or something? I’m just in a lot of weird pain. Maybe I can stop for just a second to stretch it out.

5. Keep going.

Am I really that out of shape, I can only make it this far? Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, but also do it kind of fast. Why quit now when I know I am capable of going further and faster?

6. Being out of shape hurts less than running.

Why don’t I just give up now and succumb to back fat? Pizza never gave me shin splints.

7. You're almost done.

Think of the results! Flatter stomach, strengthened immune system, better attitude, more focus and a better chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse or the "Hunger Games." There are just so many reasons why I’m so glad I’m almost done with another workout.

8. Done!

That wasn’t so bad. I think that was better than that last time I ran. Maybe this running thing really is paying off. I even have been seeing a change in my appearance. My confidence and mood have improved; this might be the best hobby I have ever taken up. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s run because I will only be faster.

9. Reward?

Good job! I think I'm going to eat a large pizza by myself after I shower.
