I ran on Sunday and on the fourth cycle of running for two minutes/walk one seven times I was almost talking myself out of running. I went on to the fifth, and sixth running with heavy breathing but then as I was walking the one minute before the seventh cycle I talked myself into running for three minutes to try and see if I can go to the next step. I lasted three minute's and thirty seconds!!!! I was thrilled. It is true, you can set your mind to anything and then do it!!!!
As I ran today on the fourth cycle I felt great. I was not thinking anything but positive thoughts. It was the sixth cycle that I upped the treadmill to 6.5 for two minutes...I have been running anywhere from 5.8-6.2.....this got my heart pumping! The last cycle I started it still out of breath from the last and I tried to talk myself into running until I couldn't run anymore but for sure last three minutes instead of two! What is it about that damn clock on the treadmill? Why is it such a downer? At two minutes and forty seconds I felt as if i had been running thirty minutes! I did run the last cycle for three minutes and thirty seconds and although I am proud of myself there still is a bit of disappointment that I did not last longer. So you know what this means?...It is time to run three minutes. It is time to stop being scared of three minutes and just dive right into it tomorrow. No excuses, no fear, just do it! (do I sound like a Nike commercial?)
