My Personal Best

Day 101

How fitting to mark the beginning of my next 100 days with a new personal best. I may turn into a runner yet. I've been doing the run/walk combo and tonight I managed to go for four minutes on one session and five minutes on the circuit. Never and I mean NEVER have I been able to do that before. It felt so good.

I never really understood the runner's "high" before. Perhaps it was because I was too busy thinking about my chest bouncing all over the place and my knees crunching with each blow. A good bra and dropping a few pounds took care of those issues. (to a point anyway) Today, I felt it for the very first time. I find myself having to temper my enthusiasm to avoid injury. But, I cannot seem to stifle a grin with each additional minute I manage to jog because I know I'm charting new territory.

My goals for this coming week are to:
1. buy a new adjustable weight bench (carryover from the weekend. ran out of time)
2. achieve a 16 minute mile
3. 120 ounces of water per day

Cheers!
