Last Day

Done. Finito. Complete.

That is how I feel. And it feels great. I finished the Couch to 5K today. And I am soooo, soooo happy.

I am proud of myself for completing the program, but also for never skipping a training session. Not one. Ever. That feels great.

To keep all things honest I did "cheat" twice by stopping and walking...once around week 4 or 5 and then today. Today! My last day and I wimped out at mile 2 and walked a half lap. I am slightly bummed at myself but also proud that I went (when everyone was busy and I was on the treadmill alone!). It was not fun...but I did complete the 3 miles and in about the same time as Monday's on the treadmill. Wednesday was out on the road and I shaved 5 min off the time...what is up with that?

So, today was a big day but there was no big fan-fare, no big finish and I didn't even finish "strong" as I had anticipated. What do I say to that? How am I feeling?

Nobig deal.
Such is life.

I didn't quit and I am still moving forward. Yeah me!

Next week I am going to run a few times to keep up my pacing and get ready for the big race on the 11th. Do some hills maybe...oh, scary! There is always a challenge out there and - am ready for it!

What next? Wait and see....fun times ahead!
