8 is enough

my entire body is covered with a thin film of dried sweat. i'm like a human salt lick.

it looks like i've reached the point in my training where it starts to get hard. the last mile and a half sucked so hard. i wanted nothing more than to stop, curl in a ball and take a nap. but i pressed on, telling myself only 20 minutes more...in those 2o minutes my joints felt as creaky as the tinman's and i felt like i was slowly being filled with sand. i thought for sure there was no way my legs could carry my heavy, heavy body.

but they did. and i can finally reward myself with valentine's day chocolate covered strawberries!

happy valentine's day, peeps!

From one single girl to another! Happy V-Day! Sounds like you have worked hard and earned a wonderful reward!

You go girl. Eat those chocolates. I had five cookies today, four of them heart-shaped.

Great job pushing through to the end of the work-out. Stopping sucks big time.

yay for sticking with it!

starts to get hard?

anything over 2 miles, and i'm still playing major mind games.

Sometimes it's rewards like the one pictured that keep us going to the end. Keep that and the image of a thinner, fitter you finishing strong and the added mileage won't seem so tough.
