A Mile in My Shoes

~Personal Triumph Announcement~

(it's like a PSA, without the annoying beeps)

Last week I ran/walked a mile and timed myself.

The last time I did that was in December.

I was super surprised that I actually improved!

I went from 25 minutes

to

12 minutes!!!

I was so proud of myself!  I didn't actually run the whole thing, but I pushed myself and ran more than I thought I could.

The working out is going pretty good then, it is still the eating that is not so good.

You all know by now that I am a stress eater.

I get sad and I eat.

It is a horrible habit and right now I'm having a troubling time in my life, so the eating is pretty much out of control.

The plus side to that is that I haven't gained any weight!

The downside to all that running is that I was super(and I mean super) sore for most of last week.  I mean so sore that I couldn't walk up and down stairs without wincing in agony...

It was hilarious!(for the people watching)

For me, not so much.  I didn't run for the rest of the week.

Oh well, I did go walking and I played with the baby at baby gym...That counts, right?

I've got to start getting more motivated in my running if I want to run the Pumpkin Race in September!

And I will(attempt it at least)

Thanks for reading!
