Fitness Journal 3/21/14
I started running this week and, man, has it been nice to get back at it! So far I've averaged about 2 miles per day, and I've ran four days {in a row!}. :) Eight Miles is more than I've ever run, I'll tell you that, albeit in four days. But hey! you have to start somewhere, no?
The first three days of running, I ran a mile in about 10-ish minutes. But today... *drum roll* I ran a mile in 7 minutes, my fastest time yet! Needless to say, my legs feel s - o - r - e. :)
Perseverance was also included in my workout today. I was tired, and after the first block I didn't feel like going any farther. That's when the whole {focus on your breathing} came in handy. I did complete my whole run, and I was proud of myself when I finished...anyone can run, but when you don't feel like running, that's when it really counts. In all actuality, our bodies can go much farther and reach higher aspirations than our mind wants to permits...you just have to get your mind right to succeed.
