Baby Steps

I just had to post my joyous moment that occurred today. I was running late for CrossFit and knew I would have to hurry to catch up with the Warm-Up and still have a few minutes to breath before the WOD started. As I pulled in, I noticed the group running around the parking lot. Instant thought- "Turn around and go back home!" But I didn't. I dropped my stuff off, checked the Warm-Up and saw that we had to run 1 lap and then were doing a group work out. No pressure - just the whole group waiting on me to finish my lap. Drum roll please...

I finished my entire lap RUNNING! So it's not like I ran a whole mile but a part of my goals is to be able to run 2 miles. The fact that I finished that one lap running without dying was HUGE to me. So a self pat-on-the-back was called for.

I have started to notice some muscle definition showing up. My ballet legs are slowly coming back. It's funny how I hated having those legs when I was younger but now I'd give anything to have them back! I've also noticed my endurance is growing. All of these are baby steps but they will help get me to that 2 mile run in the end!
