Yesterday I ran successfully 20 minutes straight!
It actually wasn't too bad either! After the first 5 minutes it was really a mental thing. I had to be like the Little Engine That Could and keep telling myself I could do it. I knew I had ran 8 minutes before with no problems and this time I wasn't even pushing 40+ lbs in a stroller.
After 10 minutes, I knew I could do it and I got into the music. I felt great afterwards too!
This next week will be fairly doable but...the week after I am terrified about. It isn't just the running but the kids. I also lose my running buddy too. Mike is going to help me and I am hoping to do the runs in the mornings before Mike leaves for work.
By the end of this week I will be running 25 minutes straight....wow!
YAY! Congratulations on running 20 minutes! Good luck with the next few weeks!
ReplyDeletethat's so awesome!! I know what you mean though about being terrified of the next week haha. Just think power words, like STRENGTH, ENERGY, POWER, SUCCESS... and of course "I CAN DO THIS" :D I am very proud of you lady!! I can't wait until you post that you ran 30 min straight :)
