Woo! What a wonderful day!
I was about to skip out on my run when I received an encouraging text from my dad. Honestly, I felt horribly guilty. I probably didn't go into it with the best attitude, but somewhere during my warm-up, I thought, "What the heck, I'm here, I might as well give it my all!" And I did. And it felt great.
My runs have increased to a minute and half intervals. Right when I'd start dragging my feet, the British chick on my phone chimed, "Only fifteen seconds to go!" and I wouldn't let myself stop (this is a big deal as I usually have zero will power).
I knew that the guilty feeling would only get worse if I petered out with so little time left. Bottom line: I made it without really slowing down! This was a first for me. Despite the addition of of 30 seconds, I improved! Crazy, right? I'm really excited about it. Actually, I'm doing a bit of a dance right now. Dance-y. Dance-y. Dance.
Great Job! Congrats, but honestly sometimes I really with the British lady would just shut up!

DeleteAwesome job!!! Getting the motivation to ignore that voice in your head that says to not do it is the hardest part of a workout!
