Today could not have been better; it started off with a free tax day massage in Keiner Plaza downtown, and ended with a 5K run! Yes you read it right, I actually did it. I can’t freaking believe it. And I did it in under an hour, 53 minutes to be exact. I never thought in million years I could jog for 3 miles. This time last year I was complaining about the walk from the parking garage to the weight management clinic. Now 52 lbs later, and working out 3 times a week. I feel a hard earned sense of accomplishment. Even Lance Armstrong had to congratulate me through my ipod on my long run yet!

A very belated congratulations to you! I’m in week 2, and I’ve decided to redo this week because I’m still struggling a bit too much during my last two 90-second jogs. Yesterday I could *feel* how easy it would be to give up. I kept telling myself that if it wasn’t challenging, I’d never do better.
I’m very proud of you! Keep up the great work! Never stop challenging yourself!

Thanks! If it was easy, everybody would do it.
