FINALLY.....
I ran 3.1 miles!
WOOHOO! It has been 12 weeks since I started running. And I was getting a little frustrated not being able to make it to 3 miles but I just felt good tonight and just kept telling myself.."I can do it!Just keep going!" Running, just like a lot of things, is a big mental game. I knew my body could handle it but my mind kept going back and forth. But I just had to keep going. And I did!
After running, I had a huge salad and some string cheese. Because yesterday I cheated and had pizza and carrot cake for Donalds birthday. So I had to eat really healthy today. The hardest thing about my diet is that I can't seem to drink enough water and I just have to have something sweet each day. I found that if I eat sugar free pudding with a little bit of light cool whip it satisfies my craving for sugar and it doesn't put on pounds! I think I have now lost 12 pounds! yeah!
Stats: 3.1 miles
41:30 minutes
