Progress


I love making goals. I love how I can set a goal, work hard, and then see the improvement.

Tonight I ran a quarter mile straight. That's approximately one time around a high school track. Without stopping.

And I was ok, no side cramps, no hyperventilating.

I couldn't even do that in high school, people! This is HUGE!

I still don't like running. I still wouldn't call myself a runner. And I still almost wet my pants every time I think about the fact that I'm running a 5k in a little less than 4 weeks.

But I'm working hard and it's showing. Really showing. That's progress. And that is definitely something to be happy about. :)

Congratulations! When I first started running I had to work up to that as well, and now I've run marathons! You'll be amazed how far you can go if you stick with it!
