Yesterday was the dreaded HBF run for a reason. I was kind of hoping secretly that the predictions of the imminent 'Rapture' were true so I wouldn't have to do it (and assumedly fail!). But I donned my sneakers, met my beautiful bubbly energetic friend and we promised ourselves that we would complete the 4.5km run in under half an hour. Off we went and to cut a very long, and very humorous, story short...my friend and I missed the turn off and had to navigate our own way back to the finish line. And in doing so, racked up a total of 7.2km! That's by far the most I've run consistently in months! Felt fabulous and felt amazing to do it with my lovely friend at my side, I don't think I could've done it (without crying!) if she wasn't at my side.
This morning had my job interview so wasn't able to have an early morning workout like I would have hoped. But that didn't matter, I told myself that not exercising on the first official day of the 12WBT wasn't an option! I got home from work at 5pm and headed straight out. Determined to smash one of my mini milestone goals (to run my whole estate) and to beat my negative thought processes and mental blocks; I promised myself that I would not stop until I got all the way around the estate and back to my front door. In total 4.3km in 28minutes. It was a lot more bloody painful after yesterday and minus the electrolyte drink to relieve cramps! But I thought I couldn't go on at 1km, but I did and I didn't think I could go on at 2km, but I did so I just kept pushing and pushing until I did it. Stopping at my door felt amazing (and tight!!) and I know now that my mental roadblocks are a thing of the past.
Watch out goals, calories and kilos - you is going dowwwwwwwn!!
