Saturday Success

May21

I decided that we should have a success-centered day after Friday Fails. I mean, don’t we all need reminders that we are doing things right? Despite the piles of laundry, disastrous meals, forgotten items, we are successful in some things that we do. It wouldn’t hurt to share some of these successes. I don’t think we’re being proud…just sharing our joy. :) Right?

Anyway, here’s my success: I ran 5K in 28 minutes!!! Four years ago I wanted to run at 5K race in 30 minutes, but never got to run the race. Since then I’ve moved, been pregnant, had a baby, and I still haven’t run that 5K. Well, I started running a month or so again and decided that I wouldn’t set the 5K as my goal, but I’d just see how I did. Today I wanted to try the 5K and see how I did. When I was a little ways away from home, I looked at my watch and realized I had run (with a small walk) for 25 minutes. I knew I could make it home in 5 minutes or less! I cried when I got home. I’ve always been afraid to set goals… I know that’s bad, but I hate failing. Anyway…huge success for me! Yay!
