Feeling so EMPOWERED this morning!!!
A few months ago, I could not run straight for 2 minutes (no joke) and today I ran for a whopping
20 MINUTES!!!
I still have a long way to go to reach my goal, but I am still so happy about this!
Today was the first day that I truly enjoyed running. I've gotten little tastes of enjoyment the last 5 weeks as I've been training, but I really loved it today. After about 10 minutes, I suddenly got this burst of energy and felt great the rest of the way. It was a really awesome feeling!
I do realize that this is just a small step...Finally though, instead of thinking "I can't run", "I'm a terrible runner", or "this is way too hard",
I'm now thinking-
"I CAN become a runner"
Wahoo!!!
(And all you amazing runners who read this, please don't laugh out loud at this post- gotta celebrate the small accomplishments in life right?!)

Yay! You're amazing woman! You go girl! lol! And I so know what you mean! If I could run for 20 minutes right now I would feel like a rockstar! :0)
I run..... I am a runner!!! (what about Bob) Way to go, I'm up to running to the fridge!!!!
Linds, that is so awesome! I love those little bursts of "I can totally do this!" that come along. It gives you just enough motivation to keep working every day.
I am ultra impressed that you felt this on the treadmill, too. I can run for quite a long time straight outside, but the time just ticks away so slowly for me on the treadmill.
Anyway, BOO-YAH is right!!!
Yay Lindsay that is awesome! I really need to get back into running... and your post is inspiring me to do it! I loved the end when you said "I can be a runner"! When I was training before having Pais I posted on my mirrors just that... "I am a runner" then when I saw it before I left I really felt it! Good Luck running!!!
