Sunday Run
Good morning!! Today is the day after our physical and written test. I am still smiling so hard that my mouth hurts. Which is ironic because I recently told someone that I think that was the only part on me that wasn't hurting due to the Black Belt cycle. Now I can say that anymore. :-)
I am so proud of myself. Yesterday I did the 1.5 mile, that took me 25:12 on January 18th, in 21:32 minutes. No need to check your eyes or clean your monitor. That is accurate. I had to ask Instructor Lloyd to repeat my time because I thought I heard wrong. Plus I improved on the number of sit-ups, push-ups, burpees, and V-sit-ups that I did. I did not get a pull-up yesterday but it will happen someday. Oh, I also made a 100 on the written test. Quite a red letter day for me yesterday.
I did get up early and went for a run this morning. I wanted to get it done before the ran set in. I allowed myself to have a nice leisurely run and I enjoyed not trying to outrun the clock. The clock is not silenced forever, just today. I wanted to focus on my breathing and enjoyed listening to the birds singing their morning songs with the wood pecker providing percussion. It was a lovely run. I am a runner. Now to get in shower to head to church then more requirements afterwards.
