2.5!

Yes. I did it. After a weekend of not exercising and overeating in a major way...I pushed myself to do better and I jogged 2.5 miles! I beat my personal best from Friday! (Ignore the fact it obviously took me 50 minutes. Well 45 minutes with a 5 minute cool down) It wasn't easy however. I've learned that a persons endurance does NOT just come and stick once its there. You have to work at it and keep it up. So here is my plan. We are at T minus 12 days until my very first 5k EVER. And I'm not ready. To get ready...this is my goal.
This week...I'm running 2.5 miles every night. No slacking....every single night. Even weekends. Next week, I'm going to bump it to 3 miles every night. Even if I have to walk it...I will be completing these every night. This is in hopes that when May 21 comes around I will not die during my 5k. Also...I will have my ipod charged. Music was completely influential in busting out my mileage last night. I was ready to stop at 2 miles and then "I'm Gonna Shine" from the movie Step Up came on and I was able to bust out .25 miles. Then "Lose Control" by Missy Elliott came on and it helped me finish up the final .25 miles. Music really does make the difference!
