Another Day, Another Milestone

I'm happy to report to you all that I was successful today! I set out to run 1 mile away from my house, and return (2 miles total) without stopping. I honestly didn't think I would be able to, but I decided to go for it. The first mile was pretty easy. When I got to the end of the 1st leg and turned back home, I was still going strong. I had made it 1.5 miles with a little mental push. My legs were starting to lock up on me but I only had a little left to complete! I kept pushing, pushing, pushing. I could smell success. Only a few feet left! I did it. The feeling was unbelievable. There is a quote that I kept saying to myself in my head: "The pain you feel today will be the strength you feel tomorrow." ~ Robert Moore. I hope that you all got your runs in and please, please, PLEASE leave a comment denoting your distances! I would love to hear from all of you!

Happy Tuesday runners! It is almost time for my daily run. I will be running (hopefully) 2 miles without stopping. If I am able to complete this, it will be a huge milestone for me. Wish me luck, and the best of luck to all of you! Please join in on today's run and post a comment later on tonight denoting your distance! Don't forget to use helpful sites like DailyMile or Map My Run to show how far you are running. I hope to hear from you all later! Good luck!

Success!

I broke a new personal record today! My goal for today's run was 1.25 miles. I reached 1.36 miles without stopping. I took a short break (walking) and resumed running a few minutes later. My cumulative running distance was just under 2 miles. Though this may sound insignificant to some, it is a huge achievement to me. I only just started running last Friday (10 days ago). Since then, I have easily doubled my distance, and my stamina seems to regenerate almost twice as fast! It is amazing what the human body can do. I hope you all join this movement because, trust me, it can be one of the most rewarding feelings to achieve personal goals like the one I surpassed today. I also hope that you choose to join me so I can hear from all of you. I would like nothing more than hearing back from all of you about your personal achievements.
