So I did it! I ran 2 miles without stopping for the first time a few weeks ago and IT.FELT.WONDERFUL! (And torturous during!) What a motivator in and of itself to continue and see how far I get. I have never been able to run even a mile without walking, but I am now running 2 miles!
So the other day I ran a two mile run with a new route and it was WONDERFUL. I felt like I could go longer (and now wish I would have!). My goal for my next run was to go longer. Well that next run was today, and that wasn't happening. It is so hot and humid out and I tried to beat the heat by running in the morning, and THAT didn't happen. It was so hot and humid while I was running. It was almost torturous and it was really hard to actually finish 2 miles, but I did it. Now I will have to run 2 miles every time. No excuse stopping! I've done it 3 times already! And who knows, maybe I'll be at 3 soon! My goal is to add another mile soon!
I am about to sign up for my first 5K ever! I am so excited! Updates on that to come soon!
And Jeff and I have been biking together, although I am taking a graduate class right now (my last! As of next Thursday I will be finished and have my Master's!) so it makes it hard to fit any exercise time in my schedule.
I am starting to wonder where I will run when I am able to go above 3 miles. Since I am adding that third mile soon, I will pretty much have run my entire neighborhood and it will be hard to expand unless I start lapping around, and I really don't want to do that in order to keep my mind fresh. The roads outside of my neighborhood are very busy and I wouldn't run on them. I will have to figure something out. I would hate to drive somewhere just to run because that takes some motivation out, but I may need to do that. I don't know. I will figure something out I guess. I am really looking forward to moving to the country someday!
Sorry this blog is so rambly! BUT get ready for my next post because it will be about my VACATION!
