Feeling Accomplished

-

I feel so accomplished that I completed my half mile today before client meetings .



The thing I appreciate most is that I’m not taking this seriously.

I don’t have a goal to lose weight or to do something that I’ve never done before. All I want to do is go hang out with my daughter  in Cincinnati while she runs the flying pig marathon.

I thought it would be fun to walk run crawl trot the half marathon at the same time.

And I thought I would do my personal work of self appreciation to help me through this half marathon 1/2 miler at a time.

 Today was my third half miler that I have documented .

Yes, this is seriously my time.  Yes, I ran.  Okay, it may be a jog or a trot to most people, but it was a run to me.  And I'm proud of it.  I did wait until the gym was almost closing again tonight.  10:45-ish is when I finished.  At this rate I'm going to finish the 1/2 marathon in 3:35.  Not bad.  Not great.  But it is my 1/2 miles and I did them.  After my 2 half mile run, I went into the sauna to stretch a bit.  I brought one of those figure eight bands in with me.  When I entered the sauna, there were four Somali women already there talking.  I had my earbuds and I squeezed myself into a spot long enough for me to lay down and stretch my legs.  I stretched my leg in the air with the band around my foot and...Bam!  It snapped back and hit me right in the face!  My first sports injury witnessed by four women
