My goal for October was to run 3 miles straight at least 4 times. Monday night I did it, ran a solid straight 3 miles. After I got home I started thinking about 10K's and found a couple on New Years Day. I figured I have 10 weeks and can slowly build from 3 miles to 6.2 so I would be ready.
When I went to the track tonight the plan was to try to 3 1/2 miles. Well after 2 3/4 miles I felt really good, so I made the decision that it would be 5 more laps instead of just 3. Then I was at 3 3/4 miles and I still felt good. When I finished up 4, I figured why not keep going? And I did! I ran 5 miles straight at the track tonight. And I'm not dying right now. I stopped and grabbed a salad and I'm doing great!
I'm just REALLY proud of myself right now! I did something that I have NEVER ever thought I could accomplish! How great is that? I really did it! I'm just happy and proud of me!
I am proud of you too! Valerie
