Brutal work out this morning. I am in tears. The pain brings me much pleasure.
Perhaps the tears are from not getting enough sleep for the past 29 years. Or, they can be from the anticipation of running in the Biggest Loser 5k 1/2 marathon this weekend, or actually from my desire to knock out a 30 min 5k, but then again they can be from a simple adrenaline rush!-- (or all of the above?!)--
Seriously how hard is it to run a 5k in 30 mins? Since I began my lifestyle change or better said since I made the commitment to myself for healthier living I created a simple goal which was to complete a 5k in 30 mins. I have been chasing a 10 minute mile ever since. --- Which ironically enough, I threw this intention out into the universe (published it on my blog) exactly 1 year ago today! --- Inspired by The BIGGEST LOSER I began my lifestyle change by getting a personal trainer and doing the work! It would be most fitting (and make for a great story) if I accomplish a 30 min 5k at this weekend's BIGGEST LOSER 5k, 1/2 marathon. (I know I can what I'm not so sure about is if I will.)
On the one hand once I accomplish it then what?--people like me who thrive on challenge need a desirable chase for total continued dedication. Bo, my personal trainer in the beginning, said eventually I would be running 1/2 marathons, I said NO WAY! -- Then I said, well maybe after I knock out consistent 30 min. 5k's -- still waiting for that very special FIRST ONE!!

You can have passion and with proper motivation you will have the continued dedication to make it happen.
I want to run a 30min 5k this weekend about as much as I would love to see the SF GIANTS win the 2015 World Series! Just like the GIANTS probably feel right now, it's far from a for sure thing, it's pretty far from even a probable --but succeed or fail, win or lose a game, a run is simply just that and there will always be another one!
