Running isn’t about how far you go but how far you’ve come.
Bart Yasso, author/marathon trainer/runner
My week 3 check in fits in perfectly with the above quote. When I first got my treadmill and started running, I really could only run for 30 seconds at a time. I can now run for for minutes at a time and at higher speeds. Each time it gets easier. I can get sucked into a program I am watching and literally forget I am running. Other times it is a struggle and I am watching the clock and distance until I can stop. But, knowing how far I have come is what keeps me going.
With my birthday this past week, my eating wasn’t so great. Birthday cupcakes, homemade strawberry pie, my mom’s lemon meringue pie, and cheesecake all made for me, so I had to eat them! But, this week, I can get back on track with my eating and push myself a bit more on my workouts. As of now I don’t have a very busy week and should be able to easily work the time into my schedule.
Week 4 is going to be awesome!
Patience
Perseverance
Positivity
