After a three week lay-off (and thus a re-start of Wk7), I finally did 30 minutes of running this morning! I had been running into this invisible wall the last few days and couldn’t do better than 25. This morning though, I erased my mental finish line (an old tree near our house), changed my route, and told myself to do 30. And I did it!
I did it! For the first time in a really, really long time I ran a straight 20 minutes! I know that for some that may not sound like much but for me, this is a personal best. Having lived through years of asthma, a bum knee, and twenty pounds of excess weight, running for twenty minutes without walking was something I could only dream of. I did it last Sunday with some steam left over. I was dreading Week 7, 8, and 9, but now that I’ve done 20, I’m beginning to think 30 mins. is very doable.
It’s Friday here in the Philippines and I just cleared my desk of this week’s clutter. I’m just about ready to face the weekend! I’ve been a good boy all week—faithfully ticking off all items on my TO DO list. I just hope I can keep this up until it becomes a habit.
