I did it!

I did it!  I did it!  I did it!!

I did Week 4 today, and while it was tough, it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Perhaps it was because I just didn't have enough faith in myself...perhaps it was because I slowed my pace down from 4.5 to 4.0 (which the program tells you to do if you need to)...or perhaps it was a bit of both.  I don't care which it was.  I did it!

I had to stop running 10 seconds before my last run was over because I literally felt the sting of tears in the back of my throat and I was holding them back and couldn't catch my breath.  A couple of tears did fall while I was doing my cook down walk - and when I got to my car, I lost it. 

I am so proud of myself.  I know its "only" been 4 weeks but I've come so far!  4 weeks ago, I barely could do the 60 seconds of running.  And now I'm doing up to 5 minutes...300 seconds of running!!

I went from 8 total minutes of running to today I did 16 minutes of running.  That is double what I was doing 4 weeks ago!


Yay me!!!!
