I jogged 2 miles!!!!!!!!
This is an exciting moment and I want to blog about it because I want to always remember these moments. I have been working on the couch to 5K program for 10 weeks or so. I have to keep repeating week 8 because I either slack and don't get my three jogs in, or I quit jogging and have to walk during it. So anyways, today was a major achievement! Never mind that it took me nearly 30 minutes... 13.5 min for the first mile and 15.5 for the second mile. But so what. I jogged. I jogged 2 miles. 3 months ago I wouldn't have imagined I would ever jog 2 miles. Therefore, I have hope that by next spring I'll be running 4 miles. Sure, why not?
I haven't been blogging, but I have been exercising since July 1. I started swimming this summer and was up to 18-24 laps 3-4 times a week. Not all front crawl. I'd occasionally grab a kick board for a lap, or do back stroke, etc. Most importantly, I fell in love with swimming. Then at the end of August I started Couch to 5k. I didn't blog tho, because I didn't want my focus to be weight loss and dieting. I wanted it to be exercise and an active lifestyle. Ok, So now that I'm exercising, I have to come to terms with the fact that diet is important too. Perhaps more important to scale than exercise. So, here I am. Celebrating a 2 mile jog today - and hoping for many more. I'm so thankful!
