Running
I have recently started running. It's something I never thought I would do, but I am really learning to love it. I trained for a 5k, and now I am training for a 10k. Once that is complete, I will be training for a half marathon! Now that is just crazy to me. I am definitely not a fast runner, and I am sure my run is more like another person's jog, but I still do it. After about 3 weeks, I thought of the great idea to start keeping track of my mileage. Kind of like a journal in a way. Over the course of a little over a month, I have logged 118 miles! That is seriously crazy to me! And I have even doubled my mileage and my time running.
I have learned what a mental game that running is. Most of the time I find that I have to talk myself into finishing! My mind definitely gives up before my legs do. I still can't even imagine one day being able to run 13.1 miles, but I couldn't imagine running almost 6 miles a month ago either! Just goes to show what you can do when you try.

Great idea! I'm gonna start logging my miles too. I don't remember what I did last week so I'll just start from this week. I told myself I was gonna try starting March 1st to do the 10k challenge. I figured then it wouldn't be child abuse to put Kayla in a stroller every morning and run with her because it should be a little warmer. haha We'll see. So glad you are enjoying running!
Well Said! It's amazing what the body can accomplish once the mind is on board!
Very inspiring. Way to go manda. keep it up.
