I S-o-o-o Rock!
Jul 04 2009 16:36

So, Monday June 29, 2009 I jogged my first mile in more than a decade. I did this in 16:33. Not a great time, so I decided that I would improve and set a goal of 15 min.

Today, five days later, I went out again. I set out to accomplish my 15min mile. To my surprise I completed an 11:30 mile. This is officially considered "running" at 5 miles an hour.

I am pretty excited. I am not dropping the weight as easily as I would like, but the health and mental benefits have been phenomenal.  It is like the harder I try, the more I succeed and the more confident  I feel.

In one month I had accomplished more health wise than I could have dreamed. This has proved to me that I am more capable than I give myself credit for. It has been a difficult, but awesome experience. I look forward to working harder and accomplishing more.

Thanks for reading!
