WEEHOO!!! And this from the girl who 4 weeks ago thought there was NO WAY she could do 3 miles.
It was tough though I am not going to lie, the first 2 miles I ran/walked which I tried to "run" most of it even if it was a little jog faster than my walking pace. Pushing through the first mile was the hardest. Then at the end of 2 miles (2.2 miles) I was going to call it quits and just do 3 miles later in the day but then I thought "If I do it all now then I do not have to go back out and run" Not to mention that I am also sick with a cold and my nose has been running all night and that's what made it the hardest the first mile. But after 1 mile my nose "mysteriously" stopped running and my head cold sort of "took a break" (probably because I was sweating SO DAMN bad and my body was hurting so the head cold just bowed out gracefully to allow my other ailments to torture me)
Oh yeah and today I again waiting till 11am to head out when the sun is the hottest..yeah not a good idea but I guess I will learn.
Anyways 2.2 miles down I decided to take the dog out on my 2.1 mile trail because she would love it and that way I would have in 4 miles and then I could just tack the extra mile onto my run tomorrow.
Well after the 2.1 with the dog I brought her home and thought "Shit whats one more mile when you are in it already for 4?"
So I went to the gym AND I RAN MY LAST 1/2 MILE!!!! Then I took the last 1/2 mile for a cool down so as to assure myself, that I still had legs and they would work.
Oh and I will not even mention how hard it was to walk up the stairs back home...
BUT WEEHOOOOO!!! I am feeling like a rock star. Day one training down!!

I am proud as a peacock! And you have learned another valuable lesson...how to talk back to that voice in your head as well as show it a thing or two. Before you know it, that little voice will be totally under control, reminding you how far you have come, and much more encouraging, saying things like, "look how easy five miles is. Remember when it seemed hard?"
Good job Random!
