One foot then another. That is how you do it.
Today was the first day of what I had/have in my mind as the most challenging of the training. W3D1 of the C25K. It is hard but it is doable. Today got up 4:52 searched for the right bra....you must have the right bra or you will want to die. I only know because of experience, BELIEVE ME!! Got the girls all situated, made sure my mp3 was juiced and had the training playlist on it and off I went. I was so apprehensive.
I have never looked at a treadmill machine with so much dislike like this morning. I was so slow to even get on it and getting it programmed for what I was about to allow it to do to my body. But then the playlist started and off I went.
I had already looked at what I was going to be doing and it looked hard. The first minute and a half of running was fine, I had accomplished that last week and really liked it. Then came the first 3 minute run. It too was fun for the first 90 seconds. The second half was a challenge, but I made it through, thanks to Avril Lavigne. She kept me at a good cadence. The second 3 minutes.....1st minute great, couldn't make it through the second, so I took a breather and then ran the last minute.
Now this may look like a failure to some, but to me I won.
I WON!!!
I completed the training and I am going back to get that 1 minute. I will do it.
You never know what you can do until you do it. I never thought I could get this big body to push past the hurt it feels. The tiredness that has trapped me here. But I am digging and pushing and making it. I am not a runner, but I am also not a quitter.
Keep giving your support. Leave me comments of encouragement. I appreciate them.
OH YEAH...I found a great site with a awesome (in my opinion) playlist that tells you when to start and stop with music I am familiar with....I not so much a techno girl, I like real music.
