I did it! I got my fresh start on my second, second day. As soon as I got home from work, I grabbed my phone, laced up my running shoes and set out for my first official day of C25k training! And let me tell you, it felt great! It was tiring, don't get me wrong. It reminded me (yet again) how out of shape I am. But I was able to keep up! After finishing day one, I'm more optimistic about reaching my goal. I did day one, I can do day two (and three and four and go right up until the very end). And, of course, let's not forget the rush of endorphins! It's amazing what a mood-booster working out is! Honestly, I had forgotten.
It's strange, I've never been excited about working out before, but now I can't wait for my rest day to be over and start day two of C25k! Yes, that's right folks, I'm excited. Crazy, right? Crazy awesome.
OH! Another bit of exciting news: I think I've convinced my mother to do the Princess Half Marathon with me! We're starting to make plans for registration and everything! Between my first day of C25k, and starting to plan the trip, it's starting to sink in--I'm going to run with the Princesses!
Congrats on that first step! I'll be running along with you in February :) Can't wait! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen!! :D
DeleteI can't wait!!
yayy!!! It's so awesome to see all the people that are going to be running the Princess Half! Congrats on getting started, I wish I could say it gets easier, but it doesnt....but the farther you go, the more you will realize that you are getting better!
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm so happy to have found so many people training for it! It definitely helps stop those, "Am I alone in my suffering??" thoughts. Haha. :D
DeleteHaha. That's probably true! But (hopefully!) I'll get used to it, at least. ;)
Great job! My mom is coming too (but doing the chEAR Squad). Either way it's SO nice to have mom support :)
ReplyDeleteYay, Moms!! Haha. It'll be so nice to have them there!!
