Two days ago, I celebrated my ONE month of being SMOKE FREE, and it feels amazing!
This accomplishment has made me realize that I am much stronger than I give myself credit for, and that I can do anything I set my mind to!
To reward myself for this major milestone, I am going to do what I've been dreaming about since I first made the decision to stop smoking, I am going to run a 5K!
I know it's not that far, or hard, but to a smoker of 10 years, the idea of running for more that five minutes is like asking a fish to breathe without water.
I am scared, but thankful that I was athletic for most of my teenage years. All those 5 am morning workouts for water polo, and 2 hour beach runs for volleyball sure paid off for something!
I am really counting on my muscle memory to help a sis-ta out!
I am going to post weekly about my progress and will call it Fitness Friday!
I need all the support I can get on this one, and hopefully I feel inspired to one day do a 10K or even a whole marathon.....but baby steps first!
Here is my GYM SCHEDULE for the first week!
Here goes nothing...
