Success at Last!

How could I possibly forget! It's update time on my physical challenge and I have good news that really I should have bragged about yesterday...I managed to FINALLY do my 10km at the gym!! The bad news is that it took me 64 minutes and 23 seconds so I still need to improve but it's still a massive step forwward to me.

What's even better is that it felt good - I didn't feel sick like I often do when I push myself and I felt that I had more than enough energy for a sprint the last kilometer. I will do some more intervals this week and try to improve my time on 5 km before doing another 10 km (fingers crossed!) next Saturday.

As I was running yesterday I thought of how my off topic physical challenge actually is not all that off topic at all. Sure, it's not a means to making or investing money in any way but it is a way to prove to myself that I can do anything that I set my mind to - all you need to reach your goal is absolute determination.

Running really does help to clear my mind and I keep coming up with all these ideas as I'm running so it can't be as bad as I imagined it was for most of my life...
