Today I start a journey to becoming a runner.
I started the program 5k in 100 days program from Brad Gansberg. I completed my first workout today. I ran today. It wasn’t fast. It wasn’t perfect. The fact remains that I ran. I completed the workout and I sat looking out over the walking path and I cried. I cried because my body did something that I didn’t ever think it could do. I cried because I was happy. I cried because I felt strong. Before this workout I was in dance class and kept thinking negative things about how I looked in the mirrors. After the workout I felt strong and happy and knew that my body would change for the better. I may not be perfect but I am perfect just where I am right now.
What I looked out over after my workout
this is me after completing my workout. Hot, sweaty and happy.
I’m proud of these today. My legs carried me through this workout and I will be a runner.
Looking forward to next June when I can really run on National Running Day.
