Today is August 13th a very fitting day because today I am embarking on my 13 mile journey. This is my journey from not being able to run a mile to running a 1/2 marathon. I want to do this to prove to myself that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. This will not only be a physical journey but an emotional one. I have a lot to overcome not only physically but emotionally. I am not good at doing things for myself, I always feel selfish when I am doing something for myself, that I should be doing something for someone else. This is a huge challenge I will over come, because in the long run getting healthy and finding peace with my body will help my family.
It was a pretty nice morning so I decided to take my 1st steps with my babies. I put them in the big jogging stroller and started out on my journey. I walked to the corner and back, then jogged to the other corner and back. I felt like a bowl of jelly jigging all over the place, it was really hard but I told myself I could make it to the corner and back.
I didn't look at a clock or keep track of how far I went, I just wanted to do what I could. I felt great all day, I was excited and actually craving more. I look forward to tomorrow.
