I ran 5.25 miles today.
Go ahead. Blink. Let it soak in. 5.25 miles.
A little over 3 weeks ago, I couldn't even run one. Actually, I should say...I had never even stepped foot on a treadmill. It's been a battle. The first time I stepped foot on a treadmill, I thought I was going to die. I sounded like an asthmatic cow. Seriously. It was bad. And then today? 5.25 miles...and I'm not tired. Granted, I have a long way to go...but I'm not giving up.
And I haven't given up...yet.
And I'm thankful for that...
Because quitting would be easy.
Walking away would be easy (a lot easier than running away...let me tell you).
But I'm getting there. Slowly, but surely I'm getting there. One mile at a time...one step at a time...I will cross that finish line.
I ran 5.25 miles today.
And I'm thankful for that :)
