On day one of my "JOURNEY TO RUN" (LOL) I was filled with motivation! I'm sure this will quickly fade. As an adult with ADHD or ADD or whatever it is when you rarely finish something you start, I am not surprised that I am so excited to begin working towards my goal of running a 5k! The true test will come in 30 days....if I'm still excited and motivated to run a 5k. Most everything I do I end up quitting. HMMM>>> I guess I'm a Master of Quitting!!! But that is not a title I am extremely proud of and hope that this goal of running a 5k (no matter how much I want to quit) I will see thru till the end. OH BY THE WAY, I do have decent grammatical skills, however for time's sake, I will not use them while I blog....just sayin!!!
DAY ONE-I arrived at ANATOMIES and went inside. Had cup of coffee and thought about what it was I was there for. I decided to hit the outdoor track and attempt what I knew would be a painstaking process of getting around it!!! I started off with a bang and I swear I thought I looked pretty peppy until the end of lap one, 1/4mile...I lost it. I hobbled around the track for the next 3 laps, finally completing 1 mile.
As I was swallowing the vomit that had welled up in my mouth, a sweet young girl approached me and offered me some truly good advice. What a kind stranger! She shared with me a very personal story about why she began running and challenged me to dig deep and find out the REAL reason I was running. I'm still wondering about that??? However, she volunteered to meet me again and have a run with me! I have a friend!!! YAY I'll be back out there tomorrow! and so will she. Praise the lord!!!!
