5K Training

Yesterday I started training for the Miles for Missions 5K.
(I was supposed to start Monday, but I was sick)
I have found this little park that's super close to our house, and not very busy...
So yesterday I ventured out to start my training program (C25K)
I wish so much that I could lie and say it was easy... but it wasn't.
I only did a mile. And that was rough. Really rough.
I got back to my car, out of breath, my legs were numb, and my asthma started acting up.
I wasn't sure that I would be able to do this.
But...
This morning, I woke up (at 5:55 AM!, before my alarm, it was a miracle), got dressed, and strapped on my tennis shoes.
Kinsey and I went to interval train at the park. We went a mile.
And you know what?
It was easier. I wasn't so out of breath, my legs weren't numb, and I didn't almost black out!
I proved something to myself. I CAN do it. I WILL do it. I WILL NOT give up!

Dream the impossible!
