YAY FOR ME!

I have been "training" (ha!) for a 5k that I am doing on March 15. I am so excited because last night on the treadmill I was able to push myself to do the whole distance and I only had to walk for a total of 8 minutes (two sets of 4 minutes!) I am so proud of myself because I really wasn't sure if I could do it. I kept chanting in my head "I can do it, I can do it." It was exciting because when I started, my goal was to jog 8 minutes, walk 4 minutes and repeat until I was done. Well, I followed that pattern twice but when I started my third 8-minute-jog I felt different and I just kept jogging for almost 15 minutes! It took 46 minutes, but right now I don't care how long it takes, I'm just focused on doing it! I feel like I have overcome a huge hurdle because I know that my lack of faith in myself was the only thing that was holding me back, and I have proved to myself that I CAN do this! I can't wait to get back on the treadmill and next week I'm going to start jogging outside! Woohoo!!!
