Week 7 – 100 miles

Week 7 goal: 14 miles with a repeat of the second week of Couch to 5k

I set up a calendar with small incremental goals each week, ending in a half marathon. I started this because I couldn’t think of a satisfactory reason to say no to the challenge. So, each week I do a little bit more than the last — focussing on endurance. So far so good.

I feel like I’m steering a ship.

I’m slowly turning the corner in the direction I want to go – a better quality of life and improved productivity.  I’m seeing results, but I feel like frustration is going to win over patience and defeat me.  Not yet, but it’s something that weighs on me daily. Continue reading →
