Tomorrow I run another 5k. I should be able to actually RUN a lot more than my last 5k. I don't think I can run the whole time, so there will be some walking.
I was SO beating myself up about this for awhile there. I felt a bit cheated by the couch to 5k program. Which I realize is silly, because had I started day 1 on the program as a normal sized person, I surely COULD be running the whole thing now... but since I am basically carrying around another person with me when I run,... well you get the idea. I have had SO many cheerleaders throughout this whole thing, it has been so nice. I love that I have great people in my life that can tell me when I am being very stupid. That whether I can run the whole thing or not... 8 weeks ago I wasnt doing ANYTHING. I ran a whole fucking MILE the other day without having to stop to walk. In the beginning I could probably not have run to the mailbox and back. The other day it was raining when I got to work so I RAN into the office from my car... when I set my stuff down in my office, I was shocked to notice that I wasn't even out of breath!
So yeah. I rule. Maybe I won't be able to run the entire time tomorrow... but I am sure as hell going to try. AND I stuck to the program!!! Which means I won the bet with Johnny who was positive I would quit (hey... can't blame him based on my track record...lol) and he has to bring me my fountain diet pepsi every day this week. HA! It is such a nuisance to carry 2 sodas around... hee hee. AND I am not quitting... by the 5k turkey trot race, I WILL be able to run THE WHOLE EFFING THING!!!!!
