This week I reached an all time personal record of running four kms. Now this sounds great and for me it is, but it's not pretty.
If you are on the track at the same time I am, you will hear me coming up behind you well before you see me. I"m afraid I still sound like an old steam engine. I am hoping this too will pass. Speed you ask? Well most people can probably walk faster than I run, however this does not bother me. IT STILL FEELS GREAT. I have always wanted to run but never had the drive to do it. Now I have learned to push past the pain in my legs and ignore my screaming lungs. I just one foot in front of the other and count off the kms. I have asked myself at least a dozen times "why can I do this now and never before?" I really don't know yet.Maybe its my workout partner, or maybe it the Ubbt. challenge, or maybe its the body for life program. It could of been a full moon on the day I finally committed to doing this, I"ll let you know when I figure this out. Anyway my new goal is to make the five km. mark by Christmas. For the first time in my life I can say this and know I will do this.
I FEEL GREAT! Talk to you soon

Congratulations! Success looks good on you. I hope that you are very proud of yourself. You are a great inspiration to me and it will be your voice in my head that encourages me to not skip my next work out session. And the fear of that kick you promised me.

Not to worry about the steam engine. When I was in track, I was one of the slowest, however I was always in the top 3. Just cuz I never stopped. 4 km is awesome! Good show!
