Around a month ago I decided to train for the Warrior Dash (5K obstacle course in Morris, OK) when I told my family it was a ton of hope you can do it, don't throw up, and really? So, yes I am running this and I plan on doing it in the only way I know how. The fastest and best way :)
Last night I decided to finally "run" the full 5K. I made it about 1 mile and my chest felt like it would explode. I took out my stop watch and I had run the first mile in 5 minutes. Amazing! Well then I walked about a half mile and decided to jog. I jogged another half mile, and then walked a quarter mile, and ran the last half mile.
When I got to the finishing line I was so sure it was over 45 minutes. Nope! 38.3 minutes!!!!! I did it. I can not believe with some walking I made it under the 40 minutes. I will be trying again tonight and hopefully I can make it to at least 36.
So here is my advice. When people tell you, you can't, the ability to do something is almost forced on you. Use their lack of belief and push yourself. Tell yourself it is possible. You can do it. I used the negative and talked to myself while running and beat my score I was attempting.
Have faith in what you can do and rock it. I have faith in you.
