So, recent update on my journey to a better me……my workout buddy has left me thanks to soccer conditioning, sad faces. Thought, her and I actually plan to do a 5k the 22nd for CHKD cancer research..woot! The look when I told my long distance workout challenger about me doing this, surprised look. He’s cheering me on knowing that this will be a first for me and hopefully not the last. I did about four miles yesterday and the look on his face was amazement about that too, same with my workout bud. I really can’t believe that I’ve kept this going this long!
I normally set a goal, start it, then give up at a time I’m satisfied. I am truly proud of myself and I see my body fine tuning itself. I hope that I can get to my goal summer body before I see my friends from Richmond or my challenge partner. I truly see myself changing and finding myself! I just admitted to myself and my friend that running for me has started to become a cooping mechanism for me. It really has when I think of it; my energy is released, my focus is on the task at hand and my goal, and at the end I feel even better. I think that’s what happened the other day when I went to the gym that allowed me to do four miles-I was feeling so good I kept going….I just can’t believe everything I’m doing. I’m also finding pieces of myself along this fitness journey.
Oh and Happy Valentines Day guys!!! ❤ My valentine is my handsome workout challenger… ❤
