Steph: I am the Tortoise

I have decided that I am the tortoise of the group ... I may have started off slow, but I am going to win this race with determination and persistence.

There is only 1 month until our Cheviot Run/Crawl. And I am going to make it ... as long as I keep going. Slow and steady is my pace. I faithfully have gotten in 3 runs a week. This week, (thanks to Jill) I started moving on up from 1 mile to the ... BEYOND!!!

And then ... I got sick. I didn't run yesterday. And that was the FIRST time I have skipped a workout since we have started. "Oh no" is all I can think today ...

... I am a little OCD and I like schedules and plans and knowing what is expected of me and fulfilling that and then "checking" it off my list. And today ... I am freaking out that I won't get my 3 runs in. And if I don't get my 3 runs in, is that the beginning of the end for me? I am a quitter. I quit slowly .... but I do quit.

So I am keeping this 5k run in mind that is now only one month away. And I refuse to fail ... so I refuse quit ... so I refuse to let this one missed run get me down ...

I can do it.

I can do it.

I can do it.
