Today was Week 5 Day 1 which says on CoolRunnings.com
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog two miles (or 20 minutes) with no walking.Well, we know that I am no where near the 2 miles thing, but 20 minutes... that seemed pretty far stretched to me, too. 2 weeks ago a 5 minute run scared me.
But I DID IT!!!! Sorry about the screaming, but I just had to.
I ran for 20 minutes and I didn't walk. I didn't even have to slow the treadmill down. I've come SO far. I still have a long way to go, but wow. When I heard the "One Minute Remaining," the tears just came. I did it. Wow. I am almost speechless. Talk about a NSV! I made it THROUGH Week 5! And Week 6 doesn't even scare me.
I am loving being my own inspiration and motivation. I never thought I would get to this point. When I started, I was at such a low point, and I never thought I would be able to move past it. This has been bigger than I ever could have imagined it. And I. am. doing. it. Nothing beats this feeling. Nothing.
