Saturday week 2, term 3 2014

I didn’t really feel up to running today, having had two days off sick with headaches and sore throats, but I decided to suck it up and go to the gym anyway.  Once there I couldn’t wait to be warmed up enough to try a run.  There was a very fit looking woman already running on the treadmill and she looked so happy that I was inspired.  I started a walk run ratio of 1:5 minutes and was doing really well.  Then I had a panic that the gym closed earlier on Saturdays and I didn’t want to miss out on completing my run.  I decided to push through and try to run the remainder of the time (15 minutes) without a walk break to decrease the time I would take to finish. I was amazed that I managed to complete the run and felt really great by the end of it.  I’m glad I went.   It just goes to show that sometimes we can achieve a lot more than our brain tells us we can.
