T.G.I.R.D. / Personal Goals #1 and #2

Thank Goodness It’s Rest Day!

     Even though I just started on my journey to running, I am thankful for a rest day. No gym. No running.  We all need to fit in our rest/recovery days.
     I am also going to start using Endomondo to map out my runs and see the actual distance I am going instead of estimating it. 

Goal #1

     My first personal goal is to be able to complete “Week 1, Day 1” of the C25K app without having to walk through the running sections.

Goal #2

            To be ready to run a 5K on June 8^th. This is the day of the Firehose Funrun at MCAS Yuma on the Parade Deck.  I know it will probably be intimidating to run a 5K on the base with all the Marines (oh-rah), but I know I will be glowing with pride for myself if I can do it. 

Motivation: 

     The voice in my head might tell me that I can't do this, or that I don't want to do it.  But I am going to continue on and stick with it.  That is going to be the only way to push through the hard beginning parts of becoming a runner to the fun fast parts! 

I'm looking forward to resting tonight, and meeting my first personal goal.  I have to think of a good reward for myself when I meet the goal!
