Done and Done

I did it! I finished my Couch to 5K training and this morning ran 30 minutes (equivalent to a 5K?). I guess it's not that significant that I ran 3 miles, but what is significant is that I followed an exercise regiment for 2 months and finished it without giving up. (Though I did take lengthy breaks when Ben was out of town a few times.) That's about it. Finishing. That's what was important. This training did not help me lose 10 pounds, it did not make me love running, but it did show me that I can finish what I start when it's important.

So I think I'll hang up my running shoes until next spring when it stays light out late enough to run after my kids go to bed. Watching the sunsets on those evenings was like being a part of heaven.
