A milestone. I hit a goal in my running today. 2 miles. I had planned on hitting this mark nearer the end of this month. But I think hitting it now is good. I made it the 2 miles, but it took just about everything I had. I would like to be at 3 miles by the end of July. Depending on how long it takes me to get used to running the 2 miles will determine my future progress. I have roughly 6 weeks to add an additional mile to my run, but I have other things to do as well. I want to start a workout regime in the Rec tomorrow, and as I start to work on my core I need to prepare myself for days when I may not be able to make the distance on a run I was hoping for. I also want to incorporate different types of training to up my endurance aside from just running distance. I want to work on sprints, and other activities to work other muscle groups in hopes that all working together will help push me along. If I don't start this kind of training soon, I'm afraid that I'll be afraid the impact of starting a different workout plan will hinder my run progress too much and I will just continue to run and eventually plateau out and stop seeing the results I am hoping for.
Today was a good run day. I will have good and bad days, I need to be just as accepting of the bad days as the good. All are part of the larger whole.
I saw a picture online a little while back of a large person running. The caption underneath it read something along these lines, "It doesn't matter where you finish, you're running laps around everyone on the couch."
