Pushed Through

I had been running on the treadmill.  But I really needed to GO OUTSIDE.  After all, that is where there race will be taking place, right?

I have been really focusing on being able to run the half, but

I needed to take little bites.

...I signed up for the West Valley Family Fitness Center Turkey Trot (5k)

Nov. 21st.

I AM FREAKING SCARED!!!!

So with that in mind I decided to check out the course.

It is really nice....THANK GOODNESS.

I walk/ran it today and
I am very happy and proud.

I did it in under an hour.  For some of you that's no big whoop, but for me I wanted to give up and just hop the fence and cut across the field back to my van, but I stayed the course, willing myself all the way through.  It was hard.

Harder than running on a treadmill...

but worth it.

I won't give up.
