Although I ran the mile in middle school (that's a big deal right?) I have never been a big runner. I have never, EVER been one of those people that thinks "I didn't work out today, I feel so awful". I'm more like..."I want to work out...but can't muster the energy to do so....oh well." But I really love the way I feel afterwards... A combination of feeling very accomplished, proud, and healthy.
So now I have been jogging a few times a week for about three weeks. At first I could barely run 3/4 of a mile. I really wanted to stop running after the first 20 steps and say "Well, I'll just have to tell them I quit the relay team!" But now I run a mile fairly comfortably! My goal is to increase the amount I run by 1/4 mile every 1-2 weeks. I have started to enjoy it more and have a great motivational tool (more on that later).

ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, Adam is part of the relay team too...if only we could go jogging together!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! Can't wait to hear how it all goes...I SO need to start running/working out again... Oh time, how fleeting you are!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I've been trying really hard to get back into working out, too...but surprise, surprise, Joey is really throwing a kink into things by acting out in the childcare...I've heard, "Rachel Wells, please come to the KidZone" and had to quit my workout early the past two times in a row." :/
ReplyDeleteoh man. too bad you can't put him on the treadmill to burn off some energy :)
ReplyDeleteI bet JoJo could give a treadmill a good run for the money:)
