When the alarm started screaming this morning I thought to myself "what was I thinking?" I am so not a morning person! I can barely get up at 6:00, let alone, workout at 6:00. But, the first day is always the hardest, right?
So, I scrambled out of bed, got dressed, put my shoes on and stumbled out the door. With Guns N Roses' "November Rain" blaring from my ipod, I started with a warm up.
Surprisingly enough, there were quite a few people out this morning. My warm up went quickly and I started out with my jog.
"Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop" This phrase repeated itself over and over as I struggled to slowly jog down the street. A mile and a half of jogging, I gave up and started a fast walk.
At first, I felt so defeated but then I told myself "this is the first day, its only going to get easier from here". My goal is to add a further distance every day.
For those of you who say to yourself, "its too hard" or "I just don't think I can", here's my advice. Yes you can!! Just start slow!! The best thing to do to get yourself jumped started is to GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! :-)
