Today I went for a run knowing that I set myself a goal/challenge to run 25 miles before Thanksgiving. I did a 2 mile run today because I just wasnt feeling like doing it. So instead of taking my time which usually results in a longer, more satisfying run, I decided to push myself for those two miles. I set the stopwatch on my Ipod and off I went. I got past the one mile marker and saw I was just over 10 minutes. hmmm... So, I cranked up the tunes and ran. I ran...not jogged. I could feel the difference in my run. It was more tiring. I was praying for the end. hehe. And at two miles I was at: 20:02. Not too shabby. My distance is only tracked with my vehicle so it isn't as accurate as a gps, but good enough for me. I came in the house and I was out of breath. Even gasping to speak. My husband asked me a few times if I was okay. Usually I come in sweaty but all "la de da" after a run. It felt good to push myself. It did remind me that I do prefer to leisure run, or jog. Its much more satisfying for me, and I feel way more capable!
As of today: I have done 5/25 of my goal. Only 20 miles left...
