Learning to run has been an accomplishment for me that I never thought would come. I use to hate to run! I would beg my dad to write me a sick day pass when it came time for the fitness test in PE. And when he said no I refused to even try. I would walk the entire mile just out of spite. I hated running!
But hearing other's stories can be so motivating! I have a cousin who started running about 10 or so years ago now. He is amazing and has completely transformed his lifestyle!
He is now a marathon runner and such an inspiration to me and the rest of our family! After hearing about the benefits for years I wanted to give running another shot. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it!
We Did It!!!
Since accomplishing this goal I have tried to set small Fittness goals for myself along the way. The only qualification is it has to be something I haven't done before, or I'll need to take it farther than I ever have.
This last spring I got back into running and worked my way up to 8 miles! This was a huge day! Huge.
Over the summer I took a body pump class and built muscle I wasn't aware that I had.
And currently I am participating in an online boot camp with The Workout Momma! (Read her blog. It's good!)
Jason and I have also been going on morning jogs together with Ms. Georgia dog. Usually around 2 miles.
This is the Best time of the day! I love my extra time in the morning with the hubs and I love that he is pushing me each and every time.
(Excuse the evil eyes)
I really enjoy switching things up and not allowing myself to get bored!
Question for the day:
What is your favorite way to exercise?
My favorite type of exercise is doing those walking dvds with Leslie sansone! I feel like when I do those I walk a lot faster then I do on my own. Would you ever consider doing the memorial marathon? I think I'm going to try it again next year
