Less then a month ago, my boyfriend and I signed up for a 5K on June 8th called "Neon Run." This week we decided to start the C25K to start training for this 5K. We planned on doing it Sunday/Wednesday/Friday since we wanted to run it together, and nights work best. Monday nights, I'm in love with my Zumba class.

However, last night was my niece's 4th Birthday. I was so torn because her and her family were coming halfway between their home and our home to celebrate and I wanted to see her. Yet I felt like if I go, I'll never start the C25K and then continue making excuse after excuse.

So today I took an early lunch break. I drove about 10 minutes away from my work where they had a public trail along the water. I turned on my music, Charity Miles, and C25K, and started following the directions. Each time the running came, I would start a fast job, but then slow down remembering I had to last the whole program. I was estatic to hear, "You are half way done!" Then as I was walking, I heard my music dim, and thought, "There's no way I can another segment. I'm exhausted!" That's when I heard, "You may begin your cool-down." It took me almost the whole cool-down to realize I just did it! I just listened to the whole day and did it as it said!

I'm so excited. I found this path beautiful, and I think I may start going on lunches instead because I feel great and have a little more energy now. And this is around the time I lose my energy and get tired.

Thanks for reading! I just wanted to share! I'm so proud of myself!

EDIT:

Here's a picture of where I was:
