I'm still training my butt off - literally! I'm keeping up with the schedule I set and I'm excited to see progress! My run times are down, my swimming is good - biking I have no way of measuring. Boot camp went well, I didn't feel out of place OR out of shape! All victories!
NSV yesterday that was huge for me...
When I left work and headed for the bus, it was still early - buses to my car only come every 15 min. instead of every 7 during peak hours. So if I missed it, I was going to be home a precious 15 minutes later. And I really needed some home alone time - it was a stressful day yesterday just mood wise. As I entered the bus tunnel, my bus went barrelling past me - down to it's stop on the other end - approx. 1.5 blocks down. Without thinking - I sprinted. Yup. Me. Sprinted! I ran full out for the 1.5 blocks and climbed on the bus. Which - in itself is amazing. But, even more amazing, is that I wasn't out of breath. I wasn't winded, sweating, or left wondering if my clothes were still all in place from the massive amounts of body jiggling that would have happened in the past (how many times have I run for the bus, climbed on, waited to catch my breath and then have to rearrange all my clothes that slipped, slid, climbed, or twisted because of the running). I sat down with a giant grin. I could run. and nobody looked around for the defibrillator - it wasn't an alarming situation as it's been in the past.
I felt pretty darn good about my body and my fitness! I'm a work in progress and I'm SEEING the progress - it feels pretty darn good.
I've got several awards I need to post - I will do that later I promise!
TTFN,
