For those of you who don't know me, I'm not a runner! When I started "running" this summer I could barely make it 1/4 of a mile without having to stop and walk. But I wanted to get in better physical shape, and my goal was to run in some sort of official RUN! There are days when I'm motivated, and I go for a run, and achieve my goal, or surpass it, and I feel amazing afterwards. Then there are days, when I DREAD it! The other day I even said to my hubs "Why do I even go jogging? I don't even like it!"
But, I have a goal, to run this 5K, and I'd love to be able to do it without stopping! So, I need to get back at it, because I've been slacking lately :( Excuses like the weather, no time, and wanting "a day off" have had their time, and now it's time to put an end to it!
So last night, we went to my parents house for supper, and then made a bunch of salsa. So while the salsa was cooking, I went on my parents treadmill and ran 2 miles without stopping! Go me! But, 5 km is 3.2 miles, so I still have a ways to go! I've given the hubs full permission to make sure I go for a run 5 or 6 times a week, and to do whatever it takes to get me there! He's already been a huge motivation! This morning, seconds after my alarm went off, "Are you going for a run dear?" and I didn't, because I actually didn't have time, so I am going right as soon as I get home from work!
Do you have any fitness goals that you're working towards? You can do it! Keep at it! Big or small, beginner or pro, you just gotta keep at it! Any tips on how you stay motivated?
