Nsv - One Small Step

[cludgie 81]

Ok, so here in the Uk we have a charity called sport relief, and one of their national events is a mile long fun run (tiny, I know).

Mid week I decided I had to do it, so my 8 yo and I signed up thursday, yesterday my DH and 4yo son decided to walk it, and make it a family event, and today we did it!!

I know its a tiny step, but puffing and panting across that finish line hand in hand with my daughter was the greatest feeling!!

11 mins 50 sec is hardly athletic, but we did it, and in sporting terms it is

the only thing I've completed in all of my 32 years!

My daughter and I are going to put our names down for a 5k in june, I've been invited by a friend to do another in August, and our local half marathon is September - dare I dream that big??

Cludgie, that is AWESOME!!! 12 Minute mile (less than even!) is not that bad... c'mon lady give yourself some credit because it is due. No matter what though, it's more about finding enjoyable activities, especially those you can do as a family. Lotsa hugs and keep up with that spirit!!! I'm so happy for you.

Every journey begins with a single step! You've done an awesome thing for yourself and your family. Just imagine where you'll be in a few months. Every day will get easier and easier. Congrats and you guys are gorgeous!!

That is great! It is so much fun being able to do things like that with our kids, isn't it? Just to think not long ago we would have been too worn out or too embarrassed to even try.

Congratulations! An 11:50 mile on your first try is pretty darn good! You can absolutely complete any running goal you set your mind to do. Most half marathon training programs run from 4-6 months so definitely doable.
