Learning Along the Way

7 weeks ago when I started the C25k running program, I did not feel fit, I was definately not a runner, and planned on running a 5k on May 1st. ALL have changed in some sort of way. I feel like I am getting fit, I actually run 3 times a week and enjoy it, and....this is the hard part for me, I am now planning on running a 5k this fall. I came to this realization this past week while running in heat and outside (neither of which I havent been doing during my training). I started the program thinking I would just learn to run-period. I have learned much much more:

*food is not my enemy and with working out, I have had to learn how foods make me feel and it can make or break my workout. This has also led me very soon be working towards getting my Nutritionist Certification :)
* i CAN do it. Starting out I could run 1 minute straight :(- BUT I stuck to every workout and lil by lil saw progress. I am now up to 21 minutes. This IS on the treadmill so my next step is to train at Lake Ella (lets pray for plenty of beautiful weather)
