I am SO proud of me today! I ran 3 miles straight, without stopping AT ALL! I didn't think I could do it. I am so happy with this running group. I think I would have quit on myself it wasn't for them. They really helped support me through this and made me believe in myself to do it! I ran 3 miles! I never thought I could say that! WOW! Yay me! :)
I can't wait until Wednesday night to do it again! I am hitting my monthly goal SO much earlier! SO, if I can do this, if I can run the 3 miles again Wednesday, then on either Friday or Saturday, I will have already made one goal for the month of June! and not only made the goal, but BEAT it! My goal was to run 2 miles, 3 times a week. I did 3 miles! Again, YAY ME! :)
As far as the other goals... I haven't been on a scale since May at my mom's and I won't until July 3rd when I am back at her house. Maybe there will be a change, maybe not, but already... I RAN 3 MILES! :)
I haven't knowingly given up control over a situation, but nothing has really come up that I wanted control over. Not sure if I'm just letting go more in general or not, or what, but it really hasn't been an issue.
As far as one positive way I dealt with stress... I think just looking forward to running last week is one. I really do. I like the time on the track. I enjoy it. I am in the moment. I'm not really thinking about anything except for being on the track and running and finding my pace. I started in the 4th lane and worked my way down to one. Then I repeted lane 1 and worked back to 4 and repeted 4 and went back down to lane one to finish. I know I wouldn't remember to count what lap I was on, so switching lanes really helps! :)
June is really turning out to be a good month. I'm happy. Things are going ok. Work is ok. My social life is ok. My health is ok. My finances are ok. It is all ok right now. Maybe that's why I haven't really had to deal with stress or with letting go of control. Everything is ok right now.
SO I think I'll just sit and be happy and be good with ok! :)
