2 Miles

My entire body aches.  The longer I sat down when I came home from the WOD the stiffer my body got.  But it was all worth it!  I knew the 2 miles was going to push me.  As much as I was dreading it I was looking forward to it even more.  I was afraid I was going to get scaled back at one point because I was taking so long and I saw the coach standing at the start/finish line after a round.  As tired as I was I was really glad when he told me to get ready for the next round.  He may probably never believe that but I am glad he let me do the entire 8 rounds of 400 meters.  To my surprise he ran the last 400 with me.  He was trying to teach me how to breathe and how to find a pattern that works for me.  Then, of course he wasn't letting me stop.  He told me I ran 350 of that last 400 meters and he didn't let me slow down even in the walk part of it.  I needed that push to know I can do this.  I can learn to run again and it will all come to me one day.  I had a moment of pity and I was called out on it.  He doesn't play that game very well.  And he doesn't give into my fears and makes me conquer them.  I wish I was more self motivated besides getting myself through the doors and pushed myself harder but so glad the coaches aren't afraid to push me and kick my butt into doing what I need to do.  Tougher the coaches are on me and the harder they push the more determined I get.  I joke that one day I'm going to kick their butt in a WOD but it's more about proving to myself that in doing this I am bettering myself and my health.  And I have to admit I want to show them I really am paying attention when they correct me on the exercises and that I've learned to do the exercises correctly.

Tonight was my weigh in and measurement night.  I always get a little scared but I sucked it up and did it.  I'm now down a total of 31lbs. and have lost 3 inches in the bust, lost 4 inches in the waist and 3 inches in the hips and I think I've lost around 3.5% more body fat.
