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!

Track Your Mileage!

To track your mileage, go to Map My Run and trace the route you took. It's a great way to keep track of your distance and improvement. Here you can see the route I took on my run today. I started at home (lower left green checkpoint) and ran northeast. Once I reached the end of the route, I turned back and returned home. It was a cumulative amount of approximately 2.1 miles. Map My Run easily calculates this for you. Check them out!

Back To The Old Grind

Happy Monday! It's almost time for our first run of the week. I would like to invite all of you to join us. Whether you decide to walk or run, it does not matter. I cannot stress to you all enough that the first step is always the hardest. Once you get your legs moving, it's all downhill from there! My personal goal will be at least 1.25 miles without stopping. For those of you who are competitive like me, I would absolutely love for you to leave a comment denoting how many miles you ran before stopping! Let's get the week started off right people. If you keep saying "I'll workout tomorrow", you'll never get around to it. Quit putting it off and join me on this quest to better ourselves both mentally and physically! Good luck everybody, and don't forget to post a comment saying how many miles you ran. I would love to hear from each and every one of you!

End Of The Weekend

The weekend came and went quickly for me. I achieved my running goals and I hope you all did too! Please share this blog with as many people as you can. Anybody that is struggling to lose weight, PLEASE, let them know about this project. Together we can motivate each other! This week will be hard, so prepare yourselves! Make sure to eat 3-4 balanced meals a day. Eating less at each meal, but more often, is the best way to lose weight. It keeps your metabolism at an incredibly high rate, melting fat right off your body. This in addition to 3-5 runs a week will have you skinny before you know it! Bathing suit season is literally right around the corner, and you all know you want to be ready for it. I know I do! I will be checking in with you all tomorrow before my run. If any of you have comments, questions, or concerns, please feel free to post a comment, or E-mail me at wxyzgarrett@yahoo.com. I am always here for anybody that wants help motivating themselves! Everybody have a great Monday!
