Winter is Almost Here

Hello!

I hope you are having a good weekend. Today was cold and gray out but it felt great! The temperature is steadily dropping, and even though I have never lived somewhere where it snows it feels like winter is coming soon to me!

This afternoon I did my 3 mile run. I completed all 3 miles in 32:28. Mile 1 I did in 10:40, mile 2 in 10:56, and mile 3 in 10:52. I was thinking to myself when I started running that 1) I should have waited longer after I ate, and 2) that every run is not a great run so I shouldn't have huge expectations since my last 3 mile run went so well. But it's cool that I did so well again....I am really happy! I think that running three days a week and only cross training in between really helps me get the rest I need and helps me to run better. Sometimes I feel like running on my cross training days but I think I will just stick to my program since it seems to be working.

I have even more good news. I have lost another 1.5 lbs! . Keeping consistent with my training, and tracking my calories, even when I go over my calorie limit really helps. I have lost inches, have gotten faster at running, my clothes fit better, and I feel stronger and more fit.

Every victory, no matter how small, is a victory! I hope that you take the time to notice and celebrate the victories in your life, whether big or small!
