Day 7-- I got up this morning already wanting to give in. If I give myself a total day off what if I don't keep up the pace I am already at. After looking out the window for 30 minutes giving myself a pep talk with some encouraging words I opened that door and I was off. I decided not to increase my distance, yet. Instead I am just going to try and improve my pace, breathing and over all time. I do find myself saying "heal, toe, heal, toe". Maybe it is just to make sure I am not hobbling along the road. I don't even realize I do it sometimes. I made my 1.5 miles in 30m 07s. This means I am down a couple of minutes and my pacing is improving! Only about 5 minutes to go for the Disney minimums. I worked out on my Wii Fit again today, now if I could only get my knee to listen to my head. It is a good thing that the Wii is fun and it makes you feel guilty if you do not return daily. I am a bit concerned about this up coming weekend though. We are taking my niece on a fun filled weekend out of town. I know I will be doing plenty of walking there, but it is not consistent walking for my 1.5 miles. I really don't wanna drop the ball now. I guess I could always treadmill it. I am just a bit unsure on the speed with my knee, oh well there needs to be a trial walk on the treadmill at some point.
I think once I get all my personal family drama out of the way I will be on the road to the finish line. I will focus all my energy into my walking I guess.
What usually makes me want continue and complete this goal that I have set for myself is when I hear the words "you are doing great" or "I am proud of you". These are usually the things that DisFanatic or my dad say when I give them a status report. I guess what I need to be hearing are those same things coming from myself. In due time.
