First 5K!
The most I had ever run in my life before today was 2 miles. But today I just told myself that I could and I should run a 5k, so I did! :D I just got a treadmill a month ago and I started by jogging a mile at a time...I have gone so far in just 30 days, I am so excited for what the next month will bring! (marathon? jk :p)
It amazes me how much of it was simply mental, I think that for me 75% of building up to this was actually strenghtening myself up mentally. But anyways, I love my treadmill, I love my legs and I love life! |
WooHoo!

Hey, that's a great accomplishment--well done, well done! :D:D:D
Regards, Michael |

Does somebody have her runner's high going? Good for you. I'm trying to get ready for my first race in May, but it's getting to be a big mental game with me too. I'll get there, but it's not all going to be pretty.

That's wonderful! Good for you. I wish I could run - sadly, I'm all chicken when running, neck bobbing, knees knocking, the fear I'm going to go butt over face any moment . . . only makes my respect for you and all the runners out there increase!
Woo! |
