Today, I set a goal of running for a mile and I DID IT!! However, there were no arms up in triumph, it was more like gasping for air like a 20 year smoker with asthma. But I did it, burning lungs and all.
I'm finding that this running thing is a test psychologically as well as physically. I find that I really have to psych myself up to get through it.
At times, I'm shouting, "DON'T STOP!!" when I feel I can't go anymore. Like seriously, who does that? I must look/sound like a crazy person.
Tomorrow, I will try my hand at running on sand, if it doesn't rain.
I know my legs hate me already.
see!! i *told* you it would get easier!

p.s. careful on the sand - that is HARD to run on, and it may be 'too much, too soon.'
Yeah! It's not crazy at all! You have to keep yourself motivated and I talk to myself all the time to do just that. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the wood floors and I LOVE that car!
this is awesome! congrats on hitting the mile. i just downloaded "eye of the tiger" this weekend, and it's what got me through my last mile. well, katy perry too.
ReplyDeletevirtual high five! keep it up!
@ Anita - It is getting easier.. a wee bit. lol
ReplyDeleteI ran on the harder sand that's close to the water. I have weak ankles and I've read that running on sand is good for strengthening them.
@ K.Rock - Thanks! I was doing ALOT of talking today.. hahaha but they say genuises talk to themselves. =)
@ Veronica - Thanks! My go to song has been "All The Way Turnt Up" by Roscoe Dash. I have no clue what he's saying but the song has a great beat and the chorus makes me wanna "turn up" my running.
YaaaY! Get yo run on!!! Good job on that mile!!! It's just a matter of time before you're not gasping for air.
