Well... I'm done!! Done the program that is.... I plan to keep running and get Kevin and myself registered for a 5k in the next month but boy does it feel awesome to actually complete a program dedicated to getting you in shape. My last run was smooth sailing and actually enjoyable!
I've been meaning to blog about how I get a note from the universe in my inbox every morning and I will another time, BUT this morning the note read:
"Every fortune, gold medal, and trophy...
Every comeback, triumph, and celebration...
And every kiss, hug, and hand held, Amanda...
Were first a thought, a whisper, or a dream.
Go, Amanda, go!
The Universe"
Every comeback, triumph, and celebration...
And every kiss, hug, and hand held, Amanda...
Were first a thought, a whisper, or a dream.
Go, Amanda, go!
The Universe"

It really spoke truth to me this morning. When I first started this journey I did it half heartily and with the assumption that if it got too tough I'd stop. But as the first week was completed my thoughts became focused on completion and my dream became doing it.
Right now I'm about a half mile short of running a 5k. I can run the time asked but I haven't reached the distance. Over the next two weeks I'm going to add 3 to 5 minutes to my time until I reach the final goal.
I'm so glad that Kevin and I did this together. It was helpful to have him to bounce ideas off, complain too, and celebrate triumphs with. I'm looking forward to pushing forward over the next two weeks to reach the 5k mark so we can start the next part of our journey.
So if I can complete this you can too! I know of at least two others that have started running since I started posting these adventures. Time for you to start! Get the first step out the door and the rest will follow!
Amanda, this is an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations and let know how you do in the race!!! Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching your goal.....and how wonderful to be able to have someone to share it with you.....keep up your running....good luck with your race
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. I will be posting about the race when it happens.
ReplyDeleteKevin has already started the 5k to 10k bridge program as of yesterday. I told him I want to get through my first 5k before even thinking about that!
