Day 111

I had to wake up 1.5 hours early this morning for work. That combined with my lack of sleep last night (caused by my inability to breathe and my coughing) and my continued feeling of crappiness made me a generally BLAH girl today. Though I was determined to jog today for two reasons:

1st - I tried on a skirt this morning in my new size and was sad to realize that it is a bit more snug than I would like. I was therefore forced to wear my old black skirt instead.

2nd - I officially registered for my first ever attemppt at jogging a 5K! The Race for the Cure is in early October and I would like to see how well my training has truly progressed. So, I have decided to do a practice run (pun intended) on September 12 at the NOAH 5K being held on my university's campus. I am crossing my fingers that my recent success at home is a sign of my ability to succeed on that morning as well. However, I figure if for some reason I am unable to jog the whole
5K, I will know how much more I have to work in order to achieve my ultimate goal of jogging the Race for the Cure a few weeks later. We shall see. :)

With these motivations in mind, I forced myself to jog tonight. Considering the circumstances, I am very proud of myself for completing 2 miles before having to give up.
