I did it! I ran 2 miles without stopping. Snow was plastered to my car when I got out of the Rec Center, but that didn't dampen my spirits one bit. In fact, it felt nice and cool against my overheated skin. I love achieving goals. There is nothing like a sense of accomplishment to cause one to feel invincible. I had to go and pick up my kids from Shakespeare in the downpoor, and even with all of the slide-offs, pile-ups and mashed front ends of cars from running into cement barriers, the "invincible high" I was on carried me through without a shred of doubt that I wouldn't make it there unharmed. I want to encourage some of the kids in my writing and literature class to run with me either a 5k or a 1/2 mile relay in the Spring. I'm excited that I think I will be ready.
In the words of Brittany Spears, "I'm stonger than yesterday - now it's nothing, but a mile away." I don't agree with her morals, but those lyrics have inspired me more than once during this journey.
Day Twenty-four - 1 mile, running, treadmill @ home
Day Twenty-three - The Sabbath
Day Twenty-two - 2 miles, 1 1/2 running & 1/2 walking @ the Rec Center
