I'm Worth It...me me me!!

I have been on this healthy lifestyle journey for almost 7 months.  I have done things that I never thought possible, I have achieved things that I thought would take me years.  I have done all these things by will power, determination, support from family and friends and a wonderful trainer, Ryan.  I started running a few weeks ago.  First I would run for a short time and when I say short time I mean short time...like maybe 20-30 seconds.  I would walk for a while and try again.  I really dislike running, but I know for my personal goal I need to do it.  I ran for one mile with out stopping a week ago, it was a great feeling.  Last Sunday I ran (and walked a little) 3 miles in 38 minutes; that is 12.66666 minute miles.  When I accomplish things that I thought I never could do I am proud of myself and I realize I'm Worth it and it is all about me, me, me in this journey!!   I feel that I need to do a 1/2 marathon, I like to accomplish the impossible (at least what I thought was impossible).  I am starting to get off the worn path and beginning to take new paths.  It is a great feeling trying new things and doing them despite not loving everything I do.  I try them anyway, I do the best I can and try not to complain too much.  Change up what you are doing, take a new path, and do it for you, do it because YOUR WORTH IT!!

  1. Yeah...a 1/2 marathon.. I am doing the Disney 1/2 marathon in 2010 -- that is a really fun one....keep it up~ Most 1/2 marathons have a cut off time of 3 1/2 hours, but that is only a 16 min. mile consistantly....you can do it~ I know how you hate running....but, you are accomplishing a feat you never knew was possible a year ago... You Go Girl~~ I am so proud of you~~

  2. Wow, Kathie! That's AWESOME! Congrats! I've been training myself these last few months to be able to run a 5K... all my training has been on a treadmill, tho. As I'm sure you've noticed, on the actual ground, I can't run worth crap! lol. But I'm gonna keep trying... maybe I'll do a half-marathon with you one of these days! Keep up the good work... you're an inspiration to SO many... including me!!! ;-)
