I set out running on Friday morning knowing it was going to be a strong running day for me, or rather telling myself "I feel great! Gonna run strong today! Get it!" This running thing is just as much a mental challenge as it is a physical challenge.
I ran around the city, then at about mile 3.5, I had a choice-turn the corner and go home, or turn the corner and run a 1.5 mile loop around the park. I assessed how I was feeling and borrowed a phrase from my son's football coach "Want some? Get some!" Then I ran 5.29 miles, beating my farthest distance by a mile. Once I hit mile 5, I thought about walking the rest of the way home, but I figured running would get me there faster. BOOM!
I stopped into Marshall's yesterday and tried on some shorts just for kicks. I tried on a bunch of size 8s and they were comfortably loose, so I tried on a 6. It fit perfectly! BOOM!
Have I mentioned I hit my original goal weight? POW! (I want to lose a few more vanity pounds. No certain number.)
