Getting faster...

I went for a run tonight at the gym. For those of you who know our team, you know "a run" means "a run/walk" to us. However, tonight I was able to run almost a full mile (.80 to be exact). I completed 3 and 1/2 miles in 47 minutes. When I first started, I couldn't complete 3 miles in 48 minutes. As I was running, I kept looking at my timer and thinking "just run for 30 more seconds." I know that this may not sound like a huge accomplishment, but as Dr. Leo Marvin said, "Baby steps." Our team will be running a 5k in a little less than a month. My goal is to run the entire race and to complete it in 30 minutes. Say a prayer for me and my legs tonight. I have a feeling we are going to need it.
