Feeling pretty good about myself today. Last night I went for a run with Megan, did a reformer class right after and another this morning. I am feeling so strong right now! On the run we followed the learn to run a 5k method. Walk for 2 minutes, run for 3 minutes. We made it 2.5 km and I have to say the first 3 minutes of running was very hard. I believe I was cursing quiet a bit and questioning myself... why are you putting yourself through this??? With Megan's encouragement I pushed through and I am glad that I did. The buddy system definitely works!! Doing cardio with someone else really helps keep you motivated - you will give up on yourself before you give up on a friend.
I do not plan to become a marathon runner or a die hard that runs no matter the weather. My plan is to start running during the summer to help get my cardio endurance up, so that in the cooler, bad weather months I will want to jump on our Elliptical. Cardio for me is to help me slim down, burn off that pesky fat and more importantly help keep my heart healthy!
There is more to being healthy than eating well and exercising. My goals are to Nourish, Empower and Strengthen
