My next 30 Day challenge has begun.....and I think I temporarily lost my mind when coming up this one.
"30 Days of Running"
Yep, everyday for the next 30 Days, I will do some type of fitness activity that involves running. I plan to begin with 5 minutes of running, and by the end of 30 days I want to be able to run a mile without stopping.
The motto was created by my 5 year old niece:
"Run, Run, Run as fast as you Can!"
Which for me means that I will push myself, but I will also go at a speed that is doable for me! No pressure, no feeling of defeat....because I will run as fast as I can....I will do what I can.....and I will succeed!
I don't know why, but for some reason, I just have the urge to run! In a way, I'm running for my life! I am hoping that by getting active, I will be able to live a long and full-filling life! I also want to inspire other plus-size women to get up and get moving!
Today I ran on a track in my neighborhood, and my family came to support me and run with me.
It was very hard for me, but I felt so encouraged when my 5 year old niece Amirah, and her 3 year old little brother Eric sang "Firework" to me as I ran!!!!!
I wore a cute Marika Miracles "Total Slimming Capri with Tummy Control" and Marika Miracles "Miraculous Uplifting Tank" by Lane Bryant.
I also wore a Enell Sports Bra, and it is by far the BEST sports bra in the world for well endowed women.
And my work-out would not be complete without my Body Media FIT Armband. It is soooooo awesome!
Today I did a 5 minute walking warm-up, then I jogged for 1 minute, walked for 90 secs, and walked again for a minute until I did a total of 5 minutes worth of walking!
I pray that I can continue this challenge for the full 30 Days!
