Today, I hit 30 minutes of running non-stop.
This was a huge goal for me. For two weeks, I’ve been stuck between 25-28. What helped was the last two minutes, I slowed my pace down .2 MPH, which allowed me to crank it out! Yahoo!
In honor of reaching this huge milestone, here are the things I love about running:
-How 10 weeks ago, I could only run 60 seconds at a time, with walking two minutes in between
-Defined, strong calves and thighs
-A glowing complexion
-No more double chin!
-No pooch/belly
-stronger and longer yoga poses
-this might sound gross, but sweat between my boobs. Makes me feel like I’m REALLY working
-it’s helped me to drop two sizes and get back into a single digit size
-hitting my stride about 6 minutes into the run
-while I’ve only ever had one, The Runner’s High
-no more shin-splints/ankle pain
-just DOING it. It hit me today that I was really doing it. I am officially a runner!
-no more flabby skin hanging over my knees
-how my ass looks in compression pants (or any pants, for that matter)
-the feeling of accomplishment when the run is over
And here is what I DO NOT love about running:
-Losing my boobs
-side stiches
-how I work my ass off for 30 minutes and still only get 3 Activity Points for it (sheesh!)
