Day 1

Yes, day one. I think I've made it through the shouting in my head saying It's much easier to not try. I've seen people reach day 346 or 1298 on their running streak and the words 'I can never do that' pop into my head. That is the greatest challenge, believing it when I tell myself everyone has to start somewhere. This is my somewhere. I pushed Ari in the stroller while Daniel rode his bike along side me. Up the big hills, I shouted to him, 'You can do it! Keep pedaling!' I believe it helped me just as much as it helped him. My legs feel like jelly, but I did it! I ran/walked/breathed heavily while leaning over the stroller for 1 1/2 miles! I don't struggle so much on a treadmill, the road is so different! Tomorrow, I have to wake up early and get in a jog before the meeting at the school. Waking up early.... I homeschool so I don't have to! I'm already thinking of reasons why I should just stay in, but there is a 5k I've commited to running with 2 very good friends.. pray for me! xoxo
