Soooooo Close!!

Today was a rough day, I hit snooze on my alarm so many times I ended up not only missing my workout but I was late getting my wee boy to school as well....still catching up on my BIG 30hr day Mon/Tues (excuses excuses)

"It's ok I deserved the sleep in I will train this evening at the gym and pop the kids in the Creche"

.....same old story I always tell myself - same old senario occured - LIFE!!

Lunch time came and I recieved a call from the school - Wee man is sick and needs picking up from the sick bay.

Sick child = No creche = No Gym = Missed workout....AGAIN!!

It was 5pm - I was feeling disappointed in myself and frustrated that I STILL HADN'T TRAINED!! I was working on my Vision Board, placing inspirational pictures about my goals, hopes and asperations.....sitting on my bum, instead of living it and JFDI!!!

So I got up, put on my running shoes and hit the treadmill.

I thought I'd give myself a little test - no looking down! Just run without knowing how fast I was going, how long I had run for and how far I had gone....just to listen to my body and not my brain telling me that "I can't"....

I had the window in front of me, the radio behind me and I was free.  I felt SO DAMN good!! I was keeping a nice pace, I was singing (in my head) to the music, I was laughing out loud to Fifi and Jules and I was enjoying the run.

When I allowed myself to look down I had been running for 45mins and I was over 7km!!! I just couldn't believe how far I had gone feeling good and relaxed.

I pushed through to the 60min mark and made 9.2km!!!

My goal of 10km in 60min is WELL within my reach!! It feel so exciting to know that I WILL reach that goal and I WILL run Bridge to Brisbane this year in 60min!!

I am so excited that I am just 800m from my goal!! I feel on top of the world.

So glad that I got off my butt and JFDI!!
