Saturday I experienced something I have never experienced before. Ever.
I ran an entire mile.
Sure, I have completely plenty of miles, but all the previous ones included walking breaks (or even walking the whole thing).
In the morning I went to BodyStep class at the YMCA. I love being pushed (positively) by the instructors, and engaging all or my muscles, but after class I still had this nagging in my brain to try the treadmill.
So in a NSV, I actually got on a machine after my 60 minute class. That was another first - sad, but true.
Once on the treadmill I decided to see if I could run the first 5 minutes straight. I did. And then I tried to make minute six. I did. At that point I has almost to 1/2 a mile, so the mind game started. Could I really run the whole mile? The answer was YES!! It took me 13.28, but I did it. I ran for 13 minutes and completed a mile.

In other news, or lack thereof, I haven't worked out since Saturday. It's on the agenda for tonight after the kiddos are in bed.
And, today was weigh-in Wednesday. Nothing really changed, and I am still at 170.
I need to find a new workout schedule that works for me and the family(now that swimming lessons and soccer practice have been changed or added to the mix). Hopefully I can tinker with it this week so that next week will be more consistant.
What are your current goals on this journey?
That's a great NSV!! You are well on your way to running a successful 5k with us in May!
