He was so excited when he got home. He called and said be ready when I get home, I said okay! I made sure I was extra cute and sexy, heck it was a workout with the hubby....
The run was awesome. Granted I hadn't ran I'm quite some time so I was curious to see what the difference would be a few pounds lighter. I have knee issues. Years of doing squats incorrectly and landing on my knees when doing African dance has causes me some aches and pains. It didn't help having that extra weight on my legs either! Every time I squat I hear cracking noise. It's quite disturbing and for years I wouldn't work out trying to ignore the sound and pain but this time I said no more.
I truly believe that in order to make a serious adjustment to your life, you have to look at yourself in the mirror, face the facts and be real with yourself. Nothing will change until you are honest with yourself on your condition. I knew my knees were jacked up but this time I refused to allow it to stop me!
So..we ran through downtown and in the middle of running he had me doing jumping jacks, climbing up and down on benches, high knees etc.
It was my first time and I was pretty proud of myself for not really stopping. Usually I would complain in the first 2-3 minutes but he said I went 5 min non stop. Now that may not be a big deal to some of you but to me, that was an amazing accomplishment.
29.06 minutes later and 306 calories later I felt accomplished. I knew that I did something that I never done before- I pushed, didn't give up and came out feeling like a star!
Do you run? Do you have a fitness goal that you're looking to achieve?
Share your story, can't wait to hear from you!
