So I went to the High School last night with my sons and I ran 3 miles without stopping!!!!!!!!! This may be no thang to most but to me a HUGE accomplishment.
I was in a contest at the gym last month and we had monthly challenges. Well for the last challenge we had they did a 5k. Well, I along with my spin teacher, walked more than half of the time! We were like almost last place! I could not breathe, I wanted to puke, I was mad at myself. After the pathetic race I was driving home and I told myself "This is bullcrap, you spin the crap out of some of those people that were jogging the whole time!" "You CAN run a 5k and you WILL teach yourself to breathe through it so that you can."
So, I started going to the track. the first time I did 12 laps at walk/jog and I just kept building from there. Well last night, which would be 2 weeks later, I did it! I jogged 12 laps without stopping. I did it in 33 minutes. I wanted to jump up and down and scream I DID IT!!!! <ok, I did both of those things and my son told me I was a dork>
I am very proud of myself. Its another thing that I decided to do even though I thought I couldn't. In my life, in the past I was so scared to try anything, I always doubted myself. It's taken time but each day I am getting stronger and more confident. I am accomplishing. I am thinking and then I am doing. It feels good.
Watch out, Imma keep goin :)
