Guess what I did earlier tonight?
I RAN A MILE.
NONSTOP.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE.
I could not be more excited! Seriously, all through school all I ever wanted was to be "normal" and finish that stupid mile. Never made it without walking, and some years I wasn't even allowed to try because of my knee and back problems.
In college? Never made it without walking.
After college? Didn't even try.
Today? I KICKED THAT MILE'S ASS.
And I will proudly admit that the closer I got, the bigger the stupid smile on my face got. And it didn't leave through the entire cool down.
Over in the column on the right is a little section titled, "Someday I Will..."
Consider "Run a mile" officially checked off!!!
Watch out, world, I'm comin' for ya!
I ran a whole mile, I ran a whole mile, I ran a whole mile....

WOW!!!!!! SOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I so get it. Running, for me, is my nemesis (and in fact, tomorrow's post is going to be all about that). So, I'm smiling for you, too!
Good for you! The last time I ran I was chasing after a baby, and that was eons ago. You ran a whole mile - that is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat is spectacular! Congrats. I wish you many more mile runs and hopefully you will run a 5K. I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! In a few months you will read this post and be smiling at how far you've come. Keep it up!
