March is almost over...well 10 more days and it I am still a little amazed at myself for sticking with this for this long. I guess I will officially have to get over it and just realize that now I have made a lifestyle change and bad habits are broken after 6 weeks so...there you have it.
New Woman!
I am in week 8 of the Couch to 5K and this is the only week I am repeating. 2.7 miles last week and this week. I feel (and so does my trainer) that I need to work on my times. I need to get faster. Build speed. It feels right to me too. Last time I thought about repeating a week, I was scared to move ahead and felt tired, this time I feel ready to move ahead (faster) and am getting more and more ready for race day.
Sometimes when I am running that little voice in my head starts the question game...why am I doing this? Why am I going to enter a race? How will I ever get better? What is this all for? Will I ever finish? And amazingly enough at the end of the training...guess what? Those questions are left on the side of the road. They are turned to enthusiasm and accomplishment and exhilration.
For the first time Carlos saw me run. Hayley and I had started at a near-by track and made a loop that ended at my house. As I was coming down the street with three blocks to go I saw Carlos holding Zac out front of our house. What a treat! I felt so focused and determined to finish strong, big and fast that when I reached them I was out of breath (thought about puking) and said very quickly..."I see you, hang on", then walked it off and came back around for hugs and thanks.
I have the best husband!
