Pushing, Digging or Clawing if I have to....

One foot then another. That is how you do it.


Today was the first day of what I had/have in my mind as the most challenging of the training. W3D1 of the C25K. It is hard but it is doable. Today got up 4:52 searched for the right bra....you must have the right bra or you will want to die. I only know because of experience, BELIEVE ME!! Got the girls all situated, made sure my mp3 was juiced and had the training playlist on it and off I went. I was so apprehensive.


I have never looked at a treadmill machine with so much dislike like this morning. I was so slow to even get on it and getting it programmed for what I was about to allow it to do to my body. But then the playlist started and off I went.


I had already looked at what I was going to be doing and it looked hard. The first minute and a half of running was fine, I had accomplished that last week and really liked it. Then came the first 3 minute run. It too was fun for the first 90 seconds. The second half was a challenge, but I made it through, thanks to Avril Lavigne. She kept me at a good cadence. The second 3 minutes.....1st minute great, couldn't make it through the second, so I took a breather and then ran the last minute.


Now this may look like a failure to some, but to me I won.


I WON!!!


I completed the training and I am going back to get that 1 minute. I will do it.


You never know what you can do until you do it. I never thought I could get this big body to push past the hurt it feels. The tiredness that has trapped me here. But I am digging and pushing and making it. I am not a runner, but I am also not a quitter.


Keep giving your support. Leave me comments of encouragement. I appreciate them. You can also follow me at my family blog: www.itsallaboutdnaanda.blogspot.com

Would love to see you there as well.

Awesome...I am inspired. I am not a runner but my goal is now to walk 2 miles on the treadmill and 15 mins on the eliptical. I love machines more than the cardio and can push myself and my husband pushes me too...not enough to want to smother him in his sleep but enough to make me go to prove to him and myself that I can do it.

Keep it up and let us know how you do.

Girl Please!!! No failure in giving it your all!! I get out there three days a week with the C25k and I struggle for a lot of it, but I'm out there giving it all that I have. I see your efforts as nothing less than stellar. It is so much easier to sit on the couch and complain, but you're doing it, and thats what counts. I have found that each run is a little easier and you will start to push harder each time. Hang in there, you're doing great. :drinker: :drinker: Cheers to you (water of course!) LOL!! :happy: :happy:
