Self Motivation and Overcoming my Inner Fears<\/h3>\n
\"Running\"

Running<\/p><\/div>\n

So many people are running 5k races and then moving on to marathons, I would love to take that first step but feel so intimidated.\u00a0 I know that I can do it but I am allowing my inner scary cat voice too much control.\u00a0 Last night I watched the Biggest Loser and was so inspired by what these people had accomplished in such a short period of time.\u00a0 As I watched the competitors it dawned on me how much they had overcome to reach that point in their lives and that if they could do it so could I.<\/p>\n

I don’t run consistently but I know I can.\u00a0 I have a recumbent bike at home, I typically was winded riding at a level 3, I then started a new cardio program in June of 2010.\u00a0 After a few months on the new program, which included plyometrics and HIIT training, I noticed level three on the bike was much easier.\u00a0 Now I can ride between level 5 and 6 with ease, I had to put my increased cardio fitness to a test in August of 2010.<\/p>\n

I hadn’t run outside in over a year so I laced up my shoes and started out on my first run of the season.\u00a0\u00a0 I had my new droid phone and downloaded the Cardio Trainer app for tracking, once it was all set it took off.\u00a0 My first run in over a year was 3.4 miles in 34 minutes, not stellar but I did it.\u00a0 When I told a friend what I had done she looked at me and said I had run enough to have done a 5K, I hadn’t thought of that and was floored.<\/p>\n

Knowing I can run a 5K was a huge thing for me as I was letting the fear of the task overcome my good senses.\u00a0 I have yet to have completed one event but that is on my goal list for 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
