I run because it makes me feel better. I don't run to get higher mileage or a faster pace, I run because it's a great way to get my body moving. Yes- sometimes I dread it, but I know that the feeling after is TOTALLY worth it. Maybe I'm not the fastest or best runner, but I still go out and do it. I don't strive for perfection; just progress. If you can only run half a mile, go out there and run it. Build up from there. That's what I did. I hated running with a passion. The first time I stepped on a treadmill I ran a 15 minute mile. The next week I ran a 10 minute. Now on a good day, I can run a 7 minute mile. Of course- that's if I'm only running a mile. Usually I average an 8 minute mile if I'm running a 5k. YES- I know that's not great but it's my first year of running. It's also summer here in Florida and it gets HOT! Today I ran 3 miles in 29 minute. It wasn't my day but that time doesn't define me; me going out there and RUNNING is the only thing that matters.
So go out there and give running or working out a shot. Your going to dread it at first- but you can't take back doing it, you can only regret it if you NEVER did it. You have to start some where:)
Grocery Haul
Today I went to my local whole foods (much dirtier than expected :( ) and it wasn't all it seemed to be amped up to be *cries*. I got a few things, but I later had to go to GNC. So I got some cacao nibs, rice cakes, Artic zero AND halo top ice creams (#noregerts). I also got some cinnamon granola because who else doesn't love a little crunch in their granola?
But I really only came to whole foods for one reason and that was for the Nut butters. I really was in a quest to find Nuts n' more but I would have settled for Wild Friend's. EXCEPT, they only had one flavor of Wild friends which was like the most basic flavor😞. So after are long trip to whole foods I went to GNC! IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!! I got the two last tubs of nuts n more in the flavors I wanted- SCORE!! I got the chocolate PB spread and the Toffee Crunch! Let's just say I left uncertain and came home a happy girl:)
