ASK YOURSELF

Ask yourself...

Is what I'm doing today, getting me closer to where I want to be tomorrow?

In my case, yes, yes it is!  This morning's walk/run was a great one for me.  Three miles only but I jogged for 9 minutes of the 53 minutes it took to get finished.  I know this doesn't sound like a lot to people who run all the time, but I have to start somewhere. 

This nine minutes of jogging is the longest I've ever run.  Although it wasn't all at the same time, 3-1/2 minutes of it were.  So, not bad for a beginner.  I had been having issues with my knees hurting so bad when I tried to jog, so yesterday I picked up two knee bands to see how they would work out.  Well they were a God send!  I had a bit of a problem getting the left one positioned correctly, but I finally did and it felt good.  The right one worked great from the start.

So now I'm really off and running.  This way my son will not have as long a wait at the finish line for dear old Mom!  Although he said he was going to go ride the rides until I got finished.  Funny man!  Doing this together will be fun, though I still wish my daughter could do it with us but her knees are REALLY bad and she couldn't take the pounding of the pavement for that long a time without resting her knees.  :-(  Still hoping somehow, someway she can join us even as a spectator.

Oh, by the way, today is day 12 of the 21 day challenge!  Over half way through my personal challenge!  Yeah!

To day 13 and beyond...
