When I woke up this morning, I almost called my friend Holly and told her that I wasn't feeling well and was just going to hang around the house...but I sucked it up and decided that if I keep saying that I am not going to do something, well, then I'm not going to end up doing anything! And, that's not how life should be lived!
The 5K today was also a fundraiser for one the non-profits that I think is great in town. I wanted to see that it will be successful, too. I may have been one of the last runners to finish, but I don't care. It's a place to start.
Holly and I started the race together and I probably lasted 1.3 miles of running straight without stopping. Then I had to finish the race walking here and running there. My friend Miquette and I finished the race together. Even though I know I'm not at the top of my running game right now, I have something to start from and improve to.
If I am going to make it to the BolderBoulder, today taught me that I need to incorporate more cardio into my workouts. I train twice a week with a trainer, and we focus a lot on strength training. It's time to add more days a week in the gym with more cardio. My goal this week is to do two more days of cardio, on top of my two days of strength training.
