Yes. Day #2. Last week only Monday saw the gym. I won't go into why, most of it is poor excuses in my book anyway. So, let's move forward shall we?
Went to the gym this morning. It's really odd to me how I can hop out of bed at 5am on a MONDAY, yet the rest of the (much nicer) days of the week are such a struggle. I'm hoping this pattern does not continue. So I got up and went. Progress! Double points for me today, as I went it ALONE. Yes, thank you very much :) I was feeling pretty good on the treadmill. Had a nice pace going, throwing in some intermittent jogging, in which I easily passed the time goal of each jog. I really (still) feel great about that. I dream of running, have I told you that? So, any progress I make gives me joy. So life was good.....UNTIL I accidentally hit the emergency stop cord! My euphoric run came to a complete stop. I was a bit confused at first and as I waited as the dumb machine stopped and lowered the incline and then I had to start it again and raise the incline....by the time all this happened?? Ya, I was out of the zone and couldn't get back. Oh well. I'm still proud of it. I finished the morning with a few exercise machines and then called it day. Best workout ever? Definitely not by far. Workout just the same? You know it!
Really hoping tomorrow is Day #3!! Stay tuned!
OH! And BTW......I have been asked to do a half marathon in October. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You have GOT to be kidding me!! LOL I struggle to run a couple (not even few people!) minutes at a time right now and have never fully run a 5k yet and you want me to do a half??? I think I just fell on the floor. Seriously? But you want to know what??? I am considering it. I would love for that to be a goal. I wouldn't know what to think if I was at THAT place in my running in 5 months time. Can you hear the "Hallelujah Chorus" now?? I can!! So, I told this friend, give me a couple of months to see how it goes and then we will see. I hope I can say yes, I really do.
See you soon!!
