When we started running earlier this year, one minute at a time, I was hoping we would stick with it. I was hoping we would progress. I was hoping it would become a part of our lives, I was hoping, but I could not see it. Now a few months later I can see the fruits of our labor. These results have come by hard work and were by no means instantaneous.
This week we have
- Run three miles in under forty-five minutes (a goal I can cross off)
- Run two miles in a constant light rain (in the past we would have heard the rain and rolled over with relief, but this day we got up )
- Run three miles with negative splits (now, we didn't set any world records, but each mile was a bit faster than the previous - never thought I'd have the energy for that )
- Run three consecutive days (each of the above victories occurred on a separate day )
Celebrate the victories that make your life better no matter how insignificant they may seem. Growth is great!
great job!! (and great goals to aspire to!) I feel the same about rain runs-- they aren't too fun, but I try to smile and think about being a kid playing in the rain, that helps!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job girl!! Running is SUCH a mental and physical challenge in the beginning, but it really does get easier! When I started, I could barely run a half a mile, and now I can run 6+ without stopping! Great job on all of your goals!
