It's quite remarkable to think that I've only been through eleven training sessions. It feels like much more. Today was the day that shortened my recovery time in between running. The only muscles that are sore right now are my calf muscles, the rest of me seems to be ok.
All in all the run was fine. The enjoyable thing is seeing how my distance increases with the extra three minutes of running that I add to the session. It gets me excited about being able to do a full 5k run.
I am at my half way mark in training and overall feeling quite good. Yesterday I went out and bought decent sports bra. The bra that I was running in is over ten years old, so it was definitely time for new one!!
My body feels stronger and I do feel more confident about myself and my appearance. I'm feeling a bit more confident about wearing clothes that were slightly tight around the middle a few weeks ago. (They're still slightly tight, but mentally I'm feeling a little skinnier.) I know that losing weight is no easy task, but am greatful to see the scale moving down instead of up! Although I'm not purposefully dieting, I do find that exercise does seem to cause me to be a bit more careful about what I'm putting into my mouth.
