....and tomorrow the truth will be told!
I've kinda keep the following news on the "down low" not wanting to disappoint myself if I didn't follow through (~cough~cough~ since I've done that a time or two) ....ANYWHO.....I am PROUD to tell that I didn't drop the ball.....and tomorrow......I will be 'RUNNING' my very first 5K.
Just 7 short weeks ago I ventured out one cold Sunday afternoon determined to get this baby making body back into some sort of shape. The beginning was painful....as I could barely jog 2 blocks without gasping for air and feeling as though I wanted to lay down in the road and wait to be run over!
But today friends after lots of aches, pains, and sweat....I can PROUDLY say I can run 3 miles without much of a struggle....and the CRAZY part of it all.....I ENJOY it and I'm addicted to it!
So tomorrow I'm lacing up my running shoes, putting my hat and gloves on and will start and finish the FrostBite 5K with a sense of PRIDE and ACCOMPLISHMENT in my heart!
I believe for the first time in my life I can call myself a runner!
I agree, running can be addicting. I may not always WANT to or enjoy the first miles, but I'm always glad I made myself do it. Once I get into a comfortable rhythm it's great to be outside and allow my thoughts to wander.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first 5K. Hmmm, wondering what will be next for you. :)

Well Magie....a 5K and Ragbrai were on my "Bucket List" so I can check them both off. Maybe this Spring/Summer we could catch up and run a 5K somewhere between you and I :)
DeleteGreat job! Still training, I think I can, I think I can! 3 more weeks.
