Tuesday Workouts!

40 minutes intervals on the Hamster wheel for about 4mph. 

I ran 4 miles today-- for the first time!!! I'm not sure what happened except my friends words: "running is all mental" kept going through my mind. It dawned on me that I always stop running not because I have to, but because I want to. So, today I thought I wouldn't stop until my body said so, not my mind. I hit 4 miles and realized I was getting that nauseated feeling I get when I'm burning too many calories. So, I stopped and still feel pretty good. I'm not going to push too hard since my hip and knee have intermittently acted up. But, who knew that I could go that far? Before this the longest I had gone was 2 miles on Monday, a 5 k on Saturday, and now 4 miles! I'm really proud of myself. I'm a little embarrassed to say that...but I am. I'm my own hero. :) I save myself...one day, one step, one bite at a time.
