Building Momentum

Building momentum, that's what I'm doing, y'all!

I've stuck with my training schedule every single day since I started. Granted, I only started last Monday, but I haven't missed one day, which is a big step in the right direction for me. 

My schedule for this week:

Monday: walk 1 mile

Tuesday: run 3/4 mile

Wednesday: walk 1 mile

Thursday: run 3/4 mile

Friday: rest

Saturday: run 3/4 mile

Sunday: 30-60 minute walk

Adding that extra 1/4 mile was a little challenging for me, but I'm proud to say I did it! I'm so excited to keep adding and to crush that 5k in August!

I especially enjoy the walking days, since I get to bring Wrigley with me, and on Sundays E joins us too. I can tell Wrigley gets a little mad at me when I don't take him with me on run days, but neither of us is coordinated enough to run together; we run into each other while walking.

This week [so far] has been tougher than last week though. The weather has been rainy, which makes my leg hurt. I've changed my morning routine just a little bit to accommodate for this. I'm just making sure that I'm getting my walk/run in first thing in the morning before I can let my leg pain talk me out of it. So far, it's worked and I'm very proud of myself.

Each walk/run that I complete gets me one step to the ultimate goal, which is helping to keep me motivated. 

I'll leave you with this,
