C25K Week 5 Day 3
That probably doesn't mean anything to you, but to me, it means a lot. It means I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm reaching exercise milestones I never thought I could. I'm pushing myself in ways I never have. I'm halfway to reaching a goal I've had for years & never thought I could achieve. I'm slowly becoming a runner. And I'm running a 5k this spring.
Today's w5d3 run consisted of a 5 min warmup followed by a 20 min straight run and a 5 min cooldown ending it. If I said I wasn't nervous about it, I'd be lying. I doubted myself as soon as I woke up this morning,
"How am I gonna do this?" played through my head throughout breakfast.
Getting into my workout gear it changed to "I'll just do my best & take a break if I need to".
Driving to the gym turned it to "I ran 15 mins once, I can probably do 5 more."
Stepping onto the treadmill brought "I'm gonna do this. It's gonna be tough but I can push through it!"
10 mins into the run it was "I got this!".
And I did. And at the end of that 20 mins I felt incredible.
Running. Weight loss. Food. I got this.
