Since I made the decision to change my life a year ago, a lot has happened. I eat healthy, exercise regularly and challenge myself in ways I never imagined.
This winter, I made the commitment to complete the Susan G. Komen 3-Day 60 mile walk, and have been slowly increasing the miles I can tackle at one time. A year ago, completing one single mile was a challenge. Today, I'm walk-jogging 4 miles and more. I'm still a ways from being able to walk 60 miles in three days, but I have 20 more weeks to train. I can do this.
A mini-milestone in my journey will hopefully come this weekend when I complete my first 5K. Note, I said complete my first 5K, not RUN my first 5K. I'm completely realistic in my goal, aiming to finish the race in under 60 minutes. I know that many people aim for times closer to 30 minutes for a 5K, but I'm not there. Regardless of how long it takes me, I am committed to finishing the race.
Wish me luck!
