Ok.. I accomplished a 5 Year GOAL!! I ran for 1 mile!

WOW!!! I am so excited. I know it's crazy, but hey, this was a personal goal I made five years ago!! It wasn't too hard, but was "mind over matter!" That night my whole body was sore!! Anyways, I wanted to encourage you to make a goal and then go for it. It doesn't matter how long it takes, it only matters if you reach it. Life isn't a sprint, its a marathon. Speaking of marathon, I think I will make that my new goal. Run in a marathon. Hummm, I will keep thinking about that one.

I ran (RAN!!!) for 1/2 mile.. LOL!

Crazy, huh? Two years ago, I couldn't walk 1/2 mile without sucking wind! Now, I am so much healthier and I owe it all to the Atlanta 2 Day Walk for Breast Cancer!

I have to tell you, it was pretty amazing... yesterday, I was walking on the treadmill. Getting ready for the big walk in September. I had already completed over 2 miles, when I decided I wanted to make it 3 miles. So I challenged myself to run the last mile, something I've never done before. So off I went... bumping up the treadmill to 5.0. Running, running.. feeling good. I was thinking to myself, just make four times around the track. Well after two times, I decided to stop for a second and get a drink of water. Well that was my bad, cause I didn't get back to it. I thought, well today isn't the day, I run my first mile. But it will be one day soon.

So stay posted and you will be the first to know...

In the mean time, go my secure donation page, and help me participate in the 2008 walk. I need to raise $1000 and it won't happen without your help!
