I had an amazing thing happen last night, no I did not win the lottery, but I am certain I will one day. I ran an entire mile without stopping! I know right now you are thinking I am like wonder woman or something…me to! As most of you know we have been working on running a 5k by September. We have had so much helpful advice and I started out with the couch to 5k program, great program…if you follow it. My Mom has been following it and she is running over 2 miles at a time and I am ticked that I have not been as dedicated as she is with it. So obviously I have not been following the program but to my defense I kind of have… just not completely. I am pretty sure that I am the only one who cannot fit everything into a 24 hour day! The consistency has been lacking in my 5k training. So with all of that being said I have not given up and even kind of doing the training has me running a mile…YAY! What the mile has done for me is gotten me EXCITED, I can’t wait to go again tonight and instead of just stopping at a mile I am going to push myself to go a little further. I think I am just shocked I can do this. I am not even sure where this puts me in the couch to 5k training but I know it gives me hope that I will be able to run the 5k by September. Officially I am a runner not only do I run around like a crazy woman, I now run around for better health!
