Outcome: Total and complete SUCCESS!!!
This morning I woke up and for some reason I was really freaking out. Thoughts swirled around my head, "what if I can't do this?", "it's been so long since I had to run for this long without stopping," "what if I have to stop to walk?", "will I be a total disappointment to Chica?" and worse I kept thinking that if I couldn't do it it this would be a huge disappointment for me. I would be totally and completely disappointed in myself. I know that bad days will come. I know that some days I won't do as well. But, today was a big deal for us. If we could do this then we knew the rest of the training program would be a cake walk. Plus, us being able to do this would validate our hard work and the program itself. So I treated it like a race of sorts. All yesterday and last night I made sure I was hydrating well, I even went to bed early to assure I got plenty of rest. I didn't want anything to get in the way of today's run.
We got out there and we warmed up with a 10-minute brisk walk and then we started our run. We had a very interesting and intriguing conversation going and that made time go by so fast. Before we knew it we were about 5 minutes from completing the 20 minutes. No pain, no cramps...No extreme fatigue! We had done this! We really rocked this run! Completely nailed this!
It. Felt. Great!
Anybody watching us must have pegged us silly as they saw us embrace each other when we finished the run. Maybe for some it was only a 20-minute run! But, for us, this was a big deal, it was our 20-minute run.
We had "trained" for this. We had earned this!
And our reward: Da'Bowls...or so we thought...
Unfortunately, Da'Bowls didn't open until 9am and we were done with the run by 7am. For some odd reason didn't think of checking their hours until this morning...sigh. We were way too excited about what we had just accomplished so we had to find an alternative place to celebrate. That is how we ended up at Ola Lola's Garden Bar & Grille instead of at Da'Bowls. Breakfast was fabulous and delicious, the atmosphere was chilled and really perfect and I even got myself a celebratory pomegranate mimosa. Is 7am too early for a mimosa? I vote NO!
Here are a couple of pictures of Chica and I. No makeup and still a bit sweaty but feeling sooooo good!!!
