I Ran A 5K!!!

  • Popular Post

I have been working up to running non stop and I was able to do it! I had actually ran 3 miles straight at the gym a few days prior so I KNEW I had no excuse not to do it at this race. Prior to this I had been stopping at 1 mile but I knew that was my brain and not my body stopping me. I have another 5k this weekend and I can't wait to run that one too. By no means is this fast running but it is a start and I feel stronger and faster every week. If I can do this now it is exciting to imagine what I will be able to do with 50 more lbs off me!

Sorry I just wanted to share this NSV.

      CONGRATS! That is a huge step and you really are showing insight when you point out the mental piece vs the physical piece regarding your training for the 5k - continue to draw on the power of your 5k

    Thanks for the offer trisket, I will def keep that in mind. Also signing up for "run for your lives". Lol. I did the warrior dash a few years back and I'm excited to try doing more 5ks. Hoping to run the Disney half in 2014. Also, just wondering how close you are, I live I'm south Arlington, where are you?

    I live in Crowley. I thought about signing up for Run For Your Lives but it is out of my price range! I am spending my extra money on Crossfit.
