I think that should be my new motto!!! I went for a run/walk yesterday, pushed myself nicely. Did a total of 25 min running in 5 min intervals with a 2 min walk in between. The last 2 running intervals were hard, it hurt, but it also felt so good. I still have a long way to go before I am running 5km straight, but I am really looking forward to that day... and then to pushing myself even harder!
I really wish I had learned to enjoy this feeling years ago, to love the feeling of my muscles working that much harder. There is a simplicity with running, a joy that I have found. I now look forward to those times that I can see how far my body can be pushed.
Good for you.
