Today was a tough day!

Today has been a tough day!

For the last couple of weeks I have had a terrible cold. My nose was stuffy! My chest congested! I was wheezy! You name it. I.HAD.A.COLD.

The hubby has not been running with me. He has been a slacker (totally kidding but the times just didn't work out for us). However, I have still been going to run. I haven't been doing the C25K app like I should but I have been running. I have been giving it all I could. It has been fun! It has been a challenge! It has been fulfilling! I couldn't wait for him to come with me today. 2 weeks with no running for him vs me giving my all for 2 weeks! I was ready to show him some progress!

But today was tough!!

I have heard many beginning runners say "I just don't stop". No matter how tough it is "I just don't stop". I decided last night before bed that I was NOT gonna stop today. Not today! Today I would do it! I would warm up for 5 minutes and I would jog for 5 minutes!!!! I would do it today. Today I just would not stop but I did! I did stop! I stopped before the 5 minutes was up! I was disappointed! I was disgusted! I let myself down! I decided I would never be able to do this!

Today was a tough day!

Then I changed my mind...

I can do this! I AM A RUNNER! I will not stop! I will rise to the challenge! I will NOT let myself down! I WILL DO THIS!

Today was a tough day!
