Completed my 5 mile run! I am SO pumped! I have to admit it got really tough around the 4 mile mark but I pushed through and made it! Yay for me! Although technically, it really isn't a 5 mile run, since I walk some of that too. I don't care though, I'm still celebrating!
I made a discovery this weekend when I saw myself in some video from last month...I definitely have some body image issues. Typically women with these type of issues are very tiny but they see themselves as big when they look in the mirror. They have a distorted view of what they look like.
I also have a distorted view of what I look like but my issue is a bit different - in fact, it is the exact opposite. The person I see in the mirror is actually better looking than in real life...so basically, I think I'm sexier than I really am. Until I see video and then I have to face reality.
And oh, what a painful reality it is...

Good job on the five miler! Also, the clinical name for what you referred to in your last paragraph is "being human". Lighten up, Frances!
I agree with Rob. :) We all have body issues whether we admit it or not. LOL
Way to go on the 5 miles! And the run/walk IS a run, so don't discount it. I have to remind myself of that as well. :) Even Jeff Galloway takes walk breaks. As we get more conditioned we will be able to take fewer walk breaks. Keep up the good work!
It counts! Celebrate! :) So proud!
Thanks guys for the encouragement!I so appreciate you!
