I am a runner? I am a runner!

Thursday, July 12, 2012

During my run after work yesterday, I decided that I am a runner. I go running. And I like it! Even when I'm trailing behind my husband and asking him to slow down so I can keep up- yep, still a runner! I like pushing myself. I like running further and faster than I have before. It is empowering.
I ran 2.8 miles without stopping yesterday- .2 miles away from my next reward! I didn't see this happening so soon, so I may need to switch up rewards- I don't need new shoes yet! It's amazing how much more endurance I have compared to April when I started running. I could barely run 1 minute without getting winded!


Anyways, I feel like I've been slacking on healthy eating lately. It always seems to happen when I start to get satisfied with my progress. Even when I'm not hungry, if I have 250 calories left in my budget, I'll eat anyways! Who does that??

We're leaving for our roadtrip/camping in NH/Boston trip Tuesday night! So excited! I haven't seen my best friend since my wedding (last September) and it's going to be awesome!

    I'm so happy for you for realizing you are a runner!!! I only run about one minute at a time, and I call myself a runner because I run. =)
Have a WONDERFUL time on your trip!!!!
