As in two-for-one special on meeting some goals today. (Sorry for the let down...no sales going on here.)
Today I not only met goal number one but I also knocked down some of goal number thirteen.
This is going to be short and sweet.
I decided to start a training program to be able to run the 5K mentioned previously. I decided to do the Couch to 5K program. I was only supposed to run for a minute at a time, followed by a minute and a half of walking.
I realized as I approached the end of my first running minute that I wasn't nearly tired enough to stop.
And then I proceeded to run for 13 minutes straight. For the first time in my whole life I RAN a mile. I almost cried on the treadmill.
I then walked for 5 minutes, ran for 3 more, and walked for a cool down. I didn't stretch (which was DUMB! Real dumb people.) so that second round was challenging.
But 13 minutes, 1 mile later, I learned that I'm doing this for me now. No one else, but me.
And you know what, I can do this. I will succeed.
I am so proud of you, Alyssa. So proud.
