Holy crap you guys, I just ran two miles without stopping!! I am continually amazed at what my body can do each week. Granted, there were some points where you could have walked faster than I was running, but the point was, I didn't stop. I was feeling a LOT of pain, but I just pushed through it and kept going. It's amazing how sometimes if you push through the pain, it eventually goes away. (Of course, it's important to pay attention to that pain so you don't injure yourself further.)
This was the first time I have done a morning run. It had just rained, so the air was nice and cool, and the sun wasn't fully out yet. I decided to do my "M-R-W" run because I knew that was just about 2 miles. Evan went running as well, so every so often, we would pass each other on the street.
I started to think about running the 5K. I pictured the crowd and everyone cheering and how that would make me feel. I pictured crossing the finish line and all the people (myself included) who would be so proud of me. I can't believe I am just three weeks away from being ready to run a 5K. I never would have thought my body was capable of doing this. Just a couple of months ago, I wouldn't have been able to run around the block, let alone run around the neighborhood!
C25K shared this picture on Facebook and Twitter this week, and I just loved it so much, that I'm sharing it again. I can't thank you all enough for your support and encouragement. On to week 6!!
