I can also say that I have been totally just on the "thinking" and "eating a little healthier" side of this experience until TODAY!!! I met Michael Torres at the baseball fields. He gave me all kinds of pointers to help my mind get ready for our run. He had already measured off the way, so we would know when we had reached one mile. Since it was only Michael and I, it was like I had my own personal trainer!!! Thank you Michael!!
Our regimen was to run for 5 minutes, walk for 1 minute and repeat for 5 times....for a total 30 minute work-out. It was such a fun challenge, and Michael was such an encourager. I huffed and puffed, BUT I DID IT....a total of 2 miles!!! I feel like the little girl who gets to ride a bicycle for the very first time and doesn't fall off!! I didn't fall, and I didn't pass out, and I even got to my desk on time. Now, the real challenge is to see if I can make this a habit instead of a one time - I did it once. Michael said he will be my accountability agent. I encourage anyone and everyone to give it a try. It was EXHILERATING!!!!
I also thought I should write this before I get all sore, and while I still had the running endorphins in my body helping me feel so successful. I know my bones and muscles are gonna let me know that I did something I haven't done in a LONG time. Anyone else want to participate next week, please let us know...my extention is 1564 (Debbie).
